5 Benefits of Cold Weather Play for Children: Boost Their Health & Happiness This Winter
Straining to fit into a boot. Whining about a finger caught in the wrong mitten. Searching for that elusive toque. Getting your kids outside to play...
Canning makes me happy. There’s something about the smell of simmering fruit, the sound of the bubbling canner and the putting-it-together process that makes me giddy.
Right now it’s time for rhubarb. My rhubarb plant is pitifully small but a friend gave me a bunch of stalks. It wasn’t enough to make Rhubarb Cordial, but enough for some jam or jelly. I still have a few jars of strawberry-rhubarb and orange-rhubarb jam from last year so I decided to make rhubarb jelly.
I steam-juiced the rhubarb and used a package of Bernardin Sugar Free Pectin. I would have preferred Pomona’s Universal Pectin but I forgot to pick some up from the health food store during my last visit.
My recipe was very simple:
4 cups rhubarb juice
1 package of Bernardin Sugar Free Pectin
1/2 cup honey
My jelly didn’t set as firmly as I would have hoped but the it’s beautifully pink and has a nice flavour.
