How to Make Rhubarb Conserve with Walnuts [Canning Recipe and Tutorial]

Emmaline has a particular fondness for Rhubarb Conserve. It is a recipe she used to make with her grandmother. She remembers her grandma loved to eat it on her oatmeal in the mornings. As a child, Emmaline was not particularly fond of the conserve, but as she became older and wiser she grew to love it as much as her grandmother. It is now a recipe she cans every year without fail. I love how canning can bring back so many wonderful childhood memories. Come along and make this wonderful rhubarb conserve with walnuts for your pantry.

The sweet with savory combinations in this recipe is intriguing and offers bursts of flavors. In particular, I like the addition of walnuts. Eating Rhubarb Conserve on fresh bread is my favorite method of eating this lovely canned good. (Honestly, anything on fresh bread is divine!) What a fun way to preserve your rhubarb.

Rhubarb Conserve Recipe and Directions

This recipe cans 7 half-pint jars of conserve.

The first step is to wash and dice 2 pounds of rhubarb.

Next, we will simmer the rhubarb in 1/4 cup of water.

Add to the pan: 5 cups of sugar, 2 finely chopped oranges, 1 finely chopped lemon, 1 cup of raisins, 1 1/4 teaspoons of mace, 1/4 cup of pectin. (You can add 1/2 teaspoon of butter if you want to reduce foaming.)

Bring to a full rolling boil for 1 minute.

Remove from the heat and add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts.

Filling Your Jars

Use a jar funnel and pour the conserve into hot jars.

Leave 1/4 inch headspace. Place lid and ring on the jar fingertip tight and process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes if at sea level.

If you have any questions about canning with the boiling water bath or need to know the proper altitude adjustment, take a look at a few of our canning basics videos.

To Marie and Emmaline, the lost arts are the useful knowledge related to simple living, country living, modern homesteading, and old-fashioned traditions that are not readily being passed down from generation to generation as they used to. It includes sustainable living skills like gardening, canning basics, and homesteading skills. Some of Marie and Emmaline's favorite hard skills include boiling water bath canning, pressure canning, steam juicing, dehydrating, and fermenting our own food to add to our pantries and food storage.
