  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Rhubarb

    Wash and chop the fresh rhubarb into small pieces.

    Make sure to remove any leaves from the rhubarb, as they are toxic.

    Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

  5. Jar the Jam

    Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars and seal tightly.
