Pre-sterilise your jam jar, lids, jam funnel and ladle by running through the dishwasher on a hot wash. Keep all equipment in the dishwasher with the door closed until need to keep it hot.
Chop the rhubarb into inch long pieces.
Place into a large, deep saucepan or preserving pan, add 2 tablespoons of water and pop on the lid.
Simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Pour the sugar into the pan, give it a stir and simmer until the sugar is all dissolved.
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop ginger.
Don’t crush the ginger as this will leave you with stringy bits in your jam. Instead, use a sharp knife to really finely chop it up.
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the ginger and the strawberries to the pan.
Bring to a boil, and continue boiling for about 15 minutes, or until setting point of 105°C (220F) is reached.
There will likely be a layer of white foam on the top of the boiling jam.
It won’t harm your jam to leave this in, but your finished jam will look much cleaner if you scoop it off using the ladle.
Remove the pan from the heat and using the jam funnel and ladle, carefully scoop the boiling hot jam into the hot jam jars.
Top with wax paper jam discs and seal immediately.
