Orange Rhubarb Raspberry Jam


I found this recipe in a super old cookbook of my Grandmother's called Cooking Scandinavian. The cookbook was badly water damaged and covered in mold and ickiness, so I was only able to grab a couple of recipes from it.  This was one of them.  Apparently it is a traditional Norwegian recipe, and it turned out really amazing! I didn't make any changes except to use a whole lemon  instead of 1/2, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly.

Orange Rhubarb Raspberry Jam

2 oranges
1/2 lemon (I used a whole lemon)
Water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
1 pound rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup raspberries
1 cup granulated sugar

Cover oranges and lemon with water.  Cover and simmer 3 hours.  Let fruits stand in water overnight.  Next day, cut fruits in quarters.  Spoon out pulp and save; discard seeds.  Cut peel into fine, even slivers.  Combine pulp, peel, the 1 1/2 cups sugar, and the 1/3 cup water.  Simmer 45 minutes, or until liquid is honey-like in consistency, stirring constantly.  Meanwhile, in another saucepan, combine rhubarb, raspberries, and the 1 cup sugar.  Slowly bring to a boil, stirring.  Continue to cook, stirring, until thick.  Combine rhubarb mixture thoroughly with orange mixture.  Heat to a full rolling boil.  ladle into hot sterilized glasses and seal.  Makes about four 8 ounce glasses.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
