Method

Soften the redcurrants in a saucepan over medium heat with a splash of boiling water.

Heat the rhubarb, vanilla seeds, and sugar in a separate pan until the sugar dissolves.

Strain the redcurrants through a fine sieve into the rhubarb mixture and stir in lemon juice.

Boil the mixture until it reaches 105°C, skimming any scum from the surface.

Remove the pan from the heat and allow the jam to cool for 20 minutes.

Pour the jam into sterilised jars and seal tightly.

Set aside to cool completely before storing.
