Rinse and slice the rhubarb into 1/2 inch pieces.
In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sliced rhubarb, grated apple, lemon zest, lemon juice, granulated erythritol sweetener, and water.
Stir the mixture well and place the saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.
Continue to cook for about 30-35 minutes until the rhubarb is very soft and the mixture has thickened.
Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the rhubarb mixture to your desired consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly.
Transfer the jam into airtight containers or sterilized jars.
Allow the jam to cool to room temperature before sealing the containers.
Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
