Ingredients

• 4 cups rhubarb
• 3 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the rhubarb thoroughly and trim off the ends. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater.

Step 3

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the rhubarb, sugar, grated ginger, orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice, and water.

Step 4

Place the pot over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar has dissolved completely.

Step 5

Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Cook for 30-40 minutes or until the marmalade reaches your desired thickness. To test, place a small dollop on a chilled plate; if it holds its shape and wrinkles slightly when pushed, it is ready.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Skim off any foam on the surface for a clearer marmalade.

Step 8

Ladle the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2-inch headspace. Seal tightly with sterilized lids.

Step 9

Allow the jars to cool at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator for short-term storage, or process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes for long-term storage.

Step 10

Serve on toast, as a topping for desserts, or use it as a glaze for roasted meats. Store in the refrigerator after opening.
