Rhubarb Orange Jam
Ingredients
4 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
2 cups water
1 can (6 ounces) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
4 cups sugar
Directions
In a large saucepan, bring rhubarb and water to a boil. Reduce
heat; simmer, uncovered, for 7-8 minutes or until rhubarb is tender.
Drain and reserve cooking liquid. Cool rhubarb and liquid to room
temperature.
Place the rhubarb in a blender; cover and process
until pureed. Transfer to a 4-cup measuring cup; add enough reserved
cooking liquid to measure 2-1/3 cups. Return to the saucepan.
Add orange juice concentrate and pectin; bring to a full rolling boil,
stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to a full rolling boil; boil
and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; skim off foam.
Pour
into jars or freezer containers; cool to room temperature, about 1
hour. Cover and let stand overnight or until set, but not longer than 24
hours. Refrigerate or freeze. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks and freeze
for up to 12 months. Yield: 5 half-pints.
