Rhubarb jam with orange

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 4 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make rhubarb jam? We will need fresh rhubarb stalks. The roots and leaves of this perennial vegetable are believed to be poisonous. Therefore, we will use only stems. Wash them thoroughly and dry with a towel. Peel the entire circumference of the rhubarb. Cut into small cubes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the oranges thoroughly with hot water. It is advisable to go over the entire surface with a brush. We do this in order to remove dirt and various chemicals that fumigate the fruits. You can even pour boiling water over it. After washing the fruits, wipe them dry. Using a fine grater, grate the orange zest (the outer layer of the peel). Add it to the chopped rhubarb.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the oranges. Divide into slices, remove thick white membranes and seeds. Cut into small pieces. Also add them to the rhubarb and grated zest.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour sugar over everything, cover the container with a lid and leave for 3-4 hours. During this time, the rhubarb and oranges will give juice.

5. STEP 5

   

   Some housewives recommend leaving the mixture to extract juice for the whole night. It seems to me that this is very long. This is how much juice came out of me after 4 hours. It seems to me that it is quite enough to start making jam.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook the jam over low heat. After boiling, cook for 20-25 minutes. During this time, the rhubarb will become soft and almost transparent. This means that the jam is ready. Let the jam cool and transfer it to pre-prepared jars. Roll up the lids and store in a place convenient for you. Take out in winter, spread on bread or bun and enjoy the aroma and taste. Cook with pleasure and bon appetit.
