Ginger Rhubarb Jam

  • 4 cups diced fresh rhubarb
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • red food coloring

Combine rhubarb, sugar, ginger, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Let stand until sugar is moistened by juices, about 20 minutes. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until thick and clear, about 15 minutes.

Skim off foam and add red food colouring if using. Ladle into hot sterilized canning jars and seal immediately. Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
