Method
Preparation
- In a large pot, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and water. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to allow the rhubarb to release its juices and the sugar to dissolve.
Cooking
- After 30 minutes, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, add the fruit pectin. Continue boiling for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
- Remove the pot from heat and ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top.
- Seal the jars tightly and let them cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.
Notes
For best flavor, serve jam at room temperature. Store jam in airtight containers; it's best consumed within 1-2 weeks. Can be frozen for 6-8 months.
