Chef’s Tip:
To make homemade rhubarb jam, place 500g of rhubarb, 500g jam sugar and juice of 1 lemon in a bowl, cover with clingfilm and marinate for 1 hour until the pink juices are released from the rhubarb and the sugar has melted. Place all the mix in a jam pot or a heavy bottomed pan and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally and continue to boil for 10-15 minutes until the volume has reduced by half. Allow to cool and place in a sterilised jam jar.
