Rhubarb Fig Ginger Marmalade

Rhubarb Fig Ginger Marmalade

Not everything you make with rhubarb has to be sweet, such as in a rhubarb barbecue sauce like this. This rhubarb fig ginger marmalade I have created is sweet, but not the dessert type of sweet. It goes great on grilled pork or chicken, but I like it best with goat cheese on a crostini. It’s very simple to make and you can preserve it in mason jars to keep it on your shelf for a long time.

Preserve your rhubarb fig ginger marmalade in jars buy boiling them in a bath for 20 minutes. You can see step-by-step on how to preserve in my homemade salsa post. You don’t have to preserve the marmalade; instead you can use it right away on grilled pork or chicken, or with cheese and crackers!
