How to Make Rhubarb Ginger Marmalade

  1. Combine 4 cups chopped rhubarb and 4 cups sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or large metal bowl. Gently mix.
  2. Let the mixture stand overnight (or for at least 8 hours) to allow the rhubarb to release its juices.
  3. While the rhubarb macerates, zest and finely chop the rind of 2 oranges and 1 lemon. Aim for approximately 1 cup of finely chopped rind.
  4. Place the chopped rind in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rind is tender.
  5. Drain the rind and set aside.
  6. Remove any pith from the oranges and lemon. Chop the pulp and add it to the macerated rhubarb mixture.
  7. Bring the rhubarb and orange/lemon pulp mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  8. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the marmalade reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger).
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger and the previously cooked and drained orange and lemon rind.
  10. Stir gently for 5 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
  11. Pour the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving about ½ inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean, apply lids and rings, and tighten securely.
  12. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure a proper seal. (refer to your canning guide for specific instructions).
