I'd forgotten about this Cook-Off but it's reappearance has reminded me that I never did find my aunt's rhubarb and ginger jam recipe. It's probably languishing in some 1950s British cookbook somewhere.

Is it anything like this Rhubarb and Ginger Jam?

 

That looks like a good recipe, whether or not it's the one @liuzhou had in mind.  I have some rhubarb begging to be used, and I'd like to try this recipe.

 

One question, however: what is "stem ginger"?

Stem Ginger is Ginger that has been cooked and preserved in a sugar syrup. It's easy to make and wonderful to have on hand. I make a big batch and keep some in the freezer and pull out just enough to use. They say that it keeps a long time in the refrigerator but I prefer to have just enough to use up in a short time. I have a great recipe for it if you would like it.

Stem Ginger is chunks of ginger candied and stored in syrup. 

 

ETA: As I now see has been explained. Cross post.

 

I can't open @Tropicalsenior's link at the moment. Local issue, I think.

Yes, please. A recipe for stem ginger would be great.
