Black Grape & Rhubarb Jam image

Black grapes happen to be a favorite food of mine, so I combined them with rhubarb from the garden to create this sweet-tart jam. The crystallized ginger and spices add wonderful flavor. The soft-set texture and the bits of the grape skin also make this recipe a little different from other jams.-Barbara Estabrook, Rhinelander, Wisconsin
