How to Make Oriental Rhubarb Jam
- Finely chop 1 pound of rhubarb.
- In a large saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, 3 cups of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of five-spice powder, 1/4 cup of chopped candied ginger, 1 dash of hot pepper sauce, and 3 teaspoons of lemon juice.
- Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to bubble.
- Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes, or until the jam has thickened considerably and reached the desired consistency (it should sheet off a spoon).
- Remove from heat and let the jam cool slightly.
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
- Seal the jars tightly and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for pints) or 15 minutes (for quarts) to ensure safe storage.
