Rhubarb Ginger Jam – Small-Batch Ontario Preserve

Bright. Lively. Gently warming.

Plaid Shirt Farms’ Rhubarb Ginger Jam captures the fresh taste of early Ontario summer. Made in small batches, this sweet-tart preserve balances the citrusy sharpness of rhubarb with the gentle warmth of real ginger for a jam that’s vibrant, aromatic, and just a little bit bold.

This is not an overly sweet jam — it’s lively, balanced, and layered with flavour.

Flavour Profile

• Rhubarb brings a bright, green-apple-meets-lemon tartness
• Sugar softens the edge into a fresh sweet-tart balance
• Ginger adds a subtle warmth that builds gently — never overpowering
• A clean, slightly peppery finish

If you enjoy jams that are flavour-forward rather than sugary, this one is for you.

Texture & Colour

• Soft and spoonable
• Tender pieces of rhubarb throughout
• Rosy pink to deep ruby tones
• Golden flecks of ginger visible in every jar

Why You’ll Love It

• Made in small batches
• Ontario-grown rhubarb (when in season)
• Balanced sweetness — not heavy or cloying

How to Enjoy

This jam is far more versatile than toast:

Breakfast favourites

• Spread on toast, scones, or warm biscuits
• Swirl into yogurt or oatmeal
• Spoon over pancakes or waffles

Cheese boards

• Pair with brie or triple cream
• Serve alongside goat cheese
• Add to a charcuterie board for a sweet-spicy contrast

In the kitchen

• Glaze pork or chicken
• Stir into a vinaigrette
• Add to thumbprint cookies
• Layer into cheesecake or sponge cakes

It’s a jam that tastes like early summer — fresh, tangy, and just a little bit fiery.
