RHUBARB AND GINGER JAM

[Babz]

I know that some of you think that I aka Elly-may know all there is to know
about scottish cooking but I am asking for help this time

What I am after is a really good recipe for Rhubarb and Ginger Jam, it
must have real pieces of ginger in it, no other will do.

Re-Robertsons Rhubarb and Ginger Jam.

Although it's a very good one I found one thats even better with more chunks of ginger in it.
It's by Adamsons of Carnoustie and the only place I can find it it in a little shop
in Skene near Aberdeen.
So will have to see if Neil can get some for us next time he's home.

Dear Babz,
Rhubarb and ginger jam try this one
1.1kg of rhubarb(prepared weight)
1.1kg sugar
juice of two lemons
25g of root ginger,bruised and tied in muslin
100g preserved or crystallised ginger.
wipe and trim rhubarb and weigh it .put into large basin in alternate layers with sugar and lemon juice,cover and leave overnight.Next day ,put mixture into a pan with the root ginger,bring to the boil and boil rapidly for 15min .Remove the bag and add the preserved or crystallised ginger and boil for a further 5min or until the rhubarb is clear and setting point is reached.pot and cover in the usual way.makes about 2kg.
wonderful on tost with a good piece of scottish cheddar or oat cakes.

I will have to try this when my rhubarb grows a little.

Have put it in my file for later, hopefully it wont be long as I have some growing under glass.
