You can use either the slender vibrant pink stalks of early forced rhubarb, or the sharper red-green stalks of outdoor rhubarb that appear later in the year to make this homely rhubarb and ginger jam.
This baked rhubarb couldn't be easier, and makes a great dessert with a dollop of Greek-style yoghurt or ice cream. Cut the rhubarb into 3cm/1in lengths and mix with the sugar and vanilla.
