From its giant leaves, visible from the end of the Mandala kitchen garden, we’ve concocted a delicious breakfast recipe. We’ve added a generous infusion of our aromatic garden rosemary.
A real treat on a slice of Uncle Fafa’s ‘Bee & Cicada’ bread and a knob of salted butter.
Ingredients
- 1kg rhubarb stalks
- 1 lemon
- 600g sugar
- 2 large sprigs rosemary
- Stockpot
- Soup mixer
Recipe
- Carefully wash the rhubarb stalks, removing the inedible leaves
- Cut into small 1cm pieces and mix coarsely with the sugar in the pot
- Cover and leave overnight, adding the sugar and lemon
- The next day, the sugar has melted into a syrup.
- In a saucepan, cover the cut rosemary branches with the syrup (without the rhubarb pieces)
- Squeeze the rosemary with a wooden spoon to extract all the aromas, then after 10 minutes, sieve to return the aromatic syrup to the rhubarbpot
- Add the lemon juice.
- Bring gently to the boil and leave to cook for 1? to 2 hours.
- If you prefer a smooth jam without any pieces of rhubarb, leave to cool a little and blend with a soup ladle, then bring back to the boil for sterilisation.
- Place in sterilised jars (boiled with the lids on), taking care to close them tightly and turn them upside down until the jam has set as it cools.
