Going to make a new jam today

[lindalongfin]

Being as I can have any amount of rhubarb I need from our neighbour, I'm going to have a go at Orange and Rhubarb Jam today. It seems a really easy recipe. If anyone is interested I'll post it on here when I've made it and tasted.

Ok, fancy-smancy jams, huh? I like apple butter. Does that make me a bad person?
