3 cups Rhubarb -- medium dice (from about 3 large stalks) 1 tbsp Ginger -- grated 1 stick Cinnamon 1 tbsp Thyme, fresh -- chopped 10 grinds Black pepper ½ tsp Salt ⅓ cup Champagne Vinegar ¼ cup Honey, or more to taste 1 tsp Lemon zest
Put all ingredients into a saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for about 30 minutes until thickened. Remove cinnamon stick and cool jam in refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve with a selection of local cheese. Pairs well with Chateau St. Michelle’s Eroica Riesling. Note: You can also add a pinch of cayenne if you want a little heat. Try this jam on fresh bread with a young goat cheese, or paired with cold turkey or duck. |
