Sounds yummy. I think the chamomile version would be good too. It’s a shame that the rhubarb you get here isn’t very red. E.g. if you make a sorbet with it it’s going to be roughly lime green, since there’s very little red pigments.

I’m not sure how well stevia would work. I find it has its own taste and for something as tart as rhubarb you’d need to add quite a lot. But it does work better with some flavours as others. And you could surely replace at least some of the sugar with it.

LOVE the picnic, Louise! Glad you enjoyed the rhubarb posts. And, yes!, crumpets are a wonderful thought for this jam!

Pozycjonawanie – Actually, the lavender flavor is quite pronounced in my batch and not at all decorative in the final jam. Did you use florets or leaves? The cinnamon is a good idea!

Mmmm looks delicious. Although I think lavender is here solely for decorative purpouses. Also I tried adding some cinnamon to one of the jars and it turned out quite ok.
