Simple Rhubarb and Gin Jam with Ginger
This Rhubarb and Gin Jam is one of the easiest and most versatile preserves you will make. This Jam captures the tangy sweetness of rhubarb infused with the subtle warmth of gin. Serve it on toasted sourdough, with a cheese board, or include it in Afternoon Tea. Go savory and use it as a glaze for roasted meats, such as pork. This jam is without pectin and we'll forego typical canning procedures making this a quick simple recipe for Rhubarb and Gin Jam.

Ingredients
- 1 lb rhubarb
- 6 oz sugar
- 2 tbsp gin
- ½ oz ginger
- ½ lemon juice from ½ a lemon, about 1 tbsp.
- ⅛ tsp salt pinch
Instructions
- First place a small plate into the freezer.
- Using a spoon, remove the skin from the ginger, then grate the ginger.
- Squeeze the lemon, collect the juice in small dish.
- Put the rhubarb, sugar, and grated ginger into a pot. Pour in the lemon juice.
- Add in the gin.
- Bring the ingredients to a boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove any foam if you wish. The foam is only air pockets coming from the rhubarb.
- When the jam appears thick, part it with a spoon to make a gap. If the gap does not close, then it is ready.
- Another test to confirm the jam is ready, is to place a spoonful on the cold plate that was previously placed in the freezer. Drag your finger or spoon handle through the jam. If it stays in place, then the jam is ready.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- I used frozen rhubarb. If using fresh rhubarb add additional prep and cooking time to the recipe.
