Hi Ladies, I need some of your Farmgirl wisdom... I have a bunch of rhubarb I am going to use to make jam and was wondering if I need to peel all of it or not? Most recipes make no mention of peeling or "stringing" rhubarb before using it in jam. Some recipes say that if you are just going to chop the rhubarb and freeze it for storage that you are specifically NOT supposed to peel it. My mom on the other hand thinks you must always peel it.
Have made lots of rhubarb jam over the years and I've never peeled it. I just let it cook down nicely and I also had a really easy recipe that uses sugar and jello in it. Sooooo yummy. Give a hollar if you'd like the recipe.
Rhubarb - to peel or not to peel?
