Rhubarb Rose Water Jam Recipe

Name: Rhubarb Rose Water Jam Recipe
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 5 jars
Ingredients: 2 cups sugar; 4 teaspoons Pomona's Universal Pectin; 2 pounds rhubarb, diced (about 12 stalks); 4 tablespoons fresh juice from 3 lemons; 3 tablespoons rose water; 2 teaspoons calcium water (included in the Pomona's packet); 1-2 drops red food coloring (optional)

This is the perfect jam for a spring tea party. The delicate, elegant flavor is a natural match for croissants or tender butter scones. To give it as a gift, pair with a bouquet of fresh wild flowers or a box of your favorite tea.

Note: If you can't find Pomona's Universal Pectin (available at many supermarkets) substitute Ball Low- or No-Sugar Needed Pectin.

If you end up with extra stewed rhubarb in step 3, don't throw it out! Stir in a little honey or agave and use it as a dessert sauce.

2 cups sugar
4 teaspoons Pomona's Universal pectin
2 pounds rhubarb, diced (about 12 stalks)
4 tablespoons fresh juice from 3 whole lemons
3 tablespoons rose water
2 teaspoons calcium water (included in the Pomona's packet)
1-2 drops red food coloring (optional)

Whisk together sugar and pectin a medium bowl and set aside.
Combine rhubarb and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer just until the rhubarb breaks down, 10 to 12 minutes.
Measure 4 cups of stewed rhubarb (if you have extra, reserve for another use). Return 4 cups of rhubarb to saucepan. Add lemon juice, rose water, calcium water, and food coloring (if using) and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the sugar-pectin mixture and return the fruit mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard for one minute.
Remove the pot from the heat and skim any foam from the surface of the jam with a cold metal spoon. Ladle jam into hot sterilized jars and process them in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
