Ingredients
- 1 bunch rhubarb
- 100 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp rosemary leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 pieces lemon peel
Standing time 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the rhubarb into 1 cm slices, wash, drain and then place in a bowl with the sugar, herbs and lemon peel. Give it a good stir with a spoon to completely coat the rhubarb. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Place the rhubarb in a baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and cook for 20 minutes.
Transfer the rhubarb to a small saucepan. Strain off 60 ml of the cooking liquid through a fine strainer and set aside. Pour the remaining cooking liquid into the pan with the rhubarb and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes until the rhubarb breaks down. Very carefully remove the lemon peel and bay leaf without burning yourself and discard. Set aside the rhubarb jam.
