Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by washing and chopping the rhubarb into small pieces.
Cooking
- In a medium-sized pot, combine the chopped rhubarb and water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Stir occasionally for about 10 minutes, until the rhubarb is tender.
- Add the scraped seeds of the vanilla bean and the pod itself to the pot.
- Stir in the sugar and fruit pectin, making sure everything is well combined. Return the mixture to a rolling boil and let it cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Test the consistency of the jelly by dropping a spoonful onto a cold plate.
- If needed, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids.
- Pour the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving a little headspace at the top. Seal them tightly.
- Let the jars cool to room temperature before transferring them to the refrigerator.
Notes
Store in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. Freezing is possible; thaw in the refrigerator overnight when ready to use.
