Ingredients
- 200 g rhubarb chopped
- 100 g sugar adjust to taste
- 3-4 cardamom pods crushed (or 1/2 tsp ground cardamom)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 50 ml water
Instructions
- Rinse and chop the rhubarb into small pieces.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, crushed cardamom pods, lemon juice, and water.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the rhubarb starts to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Lower the heat and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down and the jam thickens.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Remove the cardamom pods for a smoother jam.
- Once done, transfer the jam to a sterilized jar and let it cool completely before storing in the fridge.
