I would like to ask for a clarification about rhubarb jam (with ginger but I don't use the ginger). Generally it is suggested to put (warm) sugar in after the fruit has cooked and broken down but in the rhubarb recipe it is suggested we put the sugar in with the prepared rhubarb and leave overnight. Can u tell me why this is different? I have made the rhubarb jam recipe and it is delish. I tried the plumb jam yesterday but it is more like syrup (tho delish) so I think I didn't cook it long enough tho it reached about 103C. Comments pls? My neighbour has more plumbs and some peaches coming on...so I will be busy stewing and jamming. I am in Australia about 5 hours drive south of Sydney. We have our English rellies coming to visit in mid Feb. Sarah HI Val and everyone.

It's worth using jam sugar or having some liquid or dry pectin at hand. Rhubarb has next to no pectin. It's worth using jam sugar or having some liquid or dry pectin at hand.

I don't like ginger, but l-l-love rhubarb and clove jam. But I can't find a recipe just with rhubarb&cloves. Anyone know if I substitute the ginger in this recipe with cloves, how much would I use?
