Today it was the French style jam recipe. By the time I'd finished
I had decided it's really a marmalade rather than a plain jam.
- 1Kg diced rhubarb
- ½Kg oranges (approx. 4)
- 1½Kg sugar
- 250ml water
- the juice of one lemon
As before soak the chopped rhubarb overnight with an equal weight
of sugar and the juice of the lemon. Make a syrup from the water and
the remaining sugar. Wash the oranges, and slice them whole very
fine (no more than 3mm think) - you will need a very sharp knife.
Put the sliced oranges in the syrup and heat until the orange peel
starts to go translucent.
Add the sugar/rhubarb and lemon juice mixture to the oranges, and
bring to a boil in a jam pan. Continue to boil until it reaches
the jamming point. Makes 6x370g pots. Allow it to stand for a week
to reach full flavour after bottling before eating.
It's very marmalade like, so I may next time reduce the amount
of orange to make a stronger rhubarb flavour.
