Homemade Rhubarb Jam

So the 1st thing ready from my veg patch was lots and lots of rhubarb, so after trying rhubarb crumble and rhubarb muffins, I still had plenty left. A quick google search lead to an easy rhubarb recipe courtesy of allotment heaven. The only thing I did differently was to add a chopped up apple to put some pectin in, because apparently rhubarb doesn't contain much pectin and that's what helps jam set. Turns out it didn't make a blind bit of difference - the jam was still runny. I tried it the second it cooled and it pretty much just tasted of sugar, but when I left it a few days it tasted of deliciously sweet rhubarb. The plan is now to get some ice cream and smother it in runny jam!
