*Trim rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch ( 1cm ) pieces. Measure 8 cups ( 2 L )
*Remove rind from oranges and lime using a zester or grater. Squeeze juice from oranges and lime; measure 3/4 cup ( 175 mL ) adding water if necessary.
*Fill boiling water canner with water. Place 5 clean half-pint ( 250 mL ) mason jars in canner. Cover, bring water to a boil; boil at least 10 minutes to sterilize jars at altitudes up to 1,000 ft ( 305 m ). [ I've also sterilized jars by washing them in hot soapy water. rinsing with hot clean water and putting in rack of oven on 350 bake for several minutes ]
*Combine rhubarb, orange and lime rind, juice, sugar and ginger root in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, Stirring constantly. Boil gently, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until mixture thickens and reaches gel stage, about 30 to 35 minutes.
*Place Snap Lids in boiling water; boil 5 minutes to soften sealing compound.
*Ladle jam into a hot jar to within 1/4 inch ( o.5 cm ) of to rim ( head space ). Remove air bubbles by sliding a rubber spatula between glass and food; readjust head space to 1/4 inch ( o.5 cm ). Wipe jar rim removing any stickiness. Center Snap Lid on jar; apply screw band until fingertip tight. Place jar in canner. Repeat for remaining jam.
* Cover canner; return water to a boil process 5 minutes at altitudes up to 1,000 ft ( 305 m ). Remove jars. Cool 24 hours. Check jar seals. Sealed lids curve downward. Remove screw bands; store separately. [ I usually leave screw bands on jars ] Wipe jars, label and store in a cool, dark place.
