Vive Le Beurre

Summer is just around the corner and rhubarb has started to grow everywhere! What does that mean? Rhubarb in everything of course!

Rhubarb goodies usually include strawberries, orange and/or ginger. Inspired by these flavours, I decided to create a jam with orange, cardamom and start anise!

Here’s my recipe for honey roasted cardamom rhubarb jam:

Ingredients:

• 1.5 kg rhubarb
• 1 orange
• 1/4 tsp cardamom seeds
• 1 star anise
• 1/2 cup honey (or to taste)

Method:

1.  Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Cut rhubarb into 3 inch strips.
3. In large bowl, add the rhubarb and 1/4 cup honey, and coat.
4. Zest and peler à vif the orange (remove the skin and pith).
5. Place rhubarb and orange on baking sheet.
6. Roast for 20 minutes or until soft.
7. Transfer into a small pot, add the remaining honey, and spices and bring to simmer for 20 minutes.
8. With a handheld blender (or regular blender), blend until smooth consistency.
9. Taste, and adjust sweetness, if required.
10. Enjoy!
