This is probably the wrong group for this question
but maybe someone can help or suggest a group
that can.
Last year I tried to make rhubarb jam but couldn't
get it to set, I had two attempts and gave up.
Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong or
has a recipe that works.??
I have loads of the stuff on my lottie and don't like
to see it going to waste.

Cold tea is high in pectin, but I am not sure of the dosage.
Have a look at the url below about other means.

My grandma and mother used to make rhubarb, strawberry and gooseberry.
jam and just used tea dregs.

Rhubarb freezes very well too.

Can be bottled with high sugar solution.(google that one).

If you have a surplus after all of this give it away!
