    Cooking Time

    Here´s what you´ll need...

    • 500g early rhubarb (1 pound)
    • 475g jam sugar (has pectin in it) (2 1/2 cups)
    • the juice of 1/2 lemon
    • 1 vanilla pod
    • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom

    Here´s how it´s done... Step 1

    Cut up your rhubarb into small chunks and give them a rinse. Place these in a pan along with the sugar, cover and leave overnight.

     

    Step 2

    In the morning, add in the vanilla pod, lemon juice and, and over a medium heat, bring this to the boil.

     

    Step 3

    At this point your sugar will start to crystallise – continue to leave this to boil for another 5 minutes, making sure to stir frequently.

     

    Step 4

    Once the jam has stewed and started to become a golden colour, bring it off the heat and pour into jam jars.

     

    Step 5

    Once they have cooled, store the jars in the fridge or a dry cupboard.
