How To Make rhubarb merlot jam
-
Step 1Cook chopped rhubarb in a heavy sauce pan with the merlot over low-medium heat until the rhubarb is soft (about 10 minutes).
-
Step 2Add the sugar and bring to a rolling boil (boils even when stirred)stirring occasionally.
-
Step 3Add pectin and bring back to a boil. Boil for exactly 1 minute.
-
Step 4Remove from heat, skim off any froth that may have developed and quickly ladle into sterilized jars.
-
Step 5Make sure the lips are clean and place warm canning lids. Secure the band on each jar and invert the jars on a counter - cover with a towel to keep warm. In about an hour you can turn them right side up again. You should hear the plinking of the jars sealing soon after. Enjoy!!
