How to Make Rhubarb Ginger Jam

  1. Combine the rhubarb, ginger, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, stirring frequently, for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the jam reaches setting point (the jam will sheet off a spoon or wrinkle when a small amount is dropped onto a chilled plate).
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  5. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  6. Wipe the jar rims clean, seal the jars tightly, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for pints) or 5 minutes (for half-pints) to ensure proper sealing and shelf stability. Alternatively, you can refrigerate the jam and consume within 2-3 weeks.
  7. Allow the jars to cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place.
