Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
- 1 cup pitted and chopped dates
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, pitted and chopped dates, and water. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Allow the mixture to cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft and the dates have dissolved, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Continue to cook uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
Once thickened, remove the jam from heat and let it cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender or food processor, puree the mixture until smooth, or leave it slightly chunky for a more rustic texture.
Transfer the jam into a clean, airtight jar. Allow it to cool completely before sealing the jar.
Store the rhubarb jam in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
