Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I made this as a gift for my landlord's 72nd birthday and he loved it. He loves rhubarb, but he always complains that people make their rhubarb too sweet and he said this jam was perfect. It is sweet but not too sweet. The apple helps give it a nice texture. The lemon and ginger offset the sugar so it has some tang and kick. I had never tried rhubarb before until today and now I see what all the fuss is about. This recipe is a keeper that will be added to family Christmas gift baskets this year. Thanks again for sharing!
