English | 日本語 A little while ago, Jody from Minneapolis received a gift of our rhubarb jam. She kindly wrote back to us, and she sent along a family recipe, too. Jody said she is looking forward to sharing the jam with her sisters and their families, and her kind words made our week. Thank you, Jody!

English | 日本語 Hello from AcreSeason™! Today, the labels for our Red Rhubarb Jam 5.3 oz (150g) finally arrived. This jam is made from red rhubarb that I grew and carefully selected in my own garden in Fujimi, Nagano, Japan, and then slowly cooked by professionals. With the label on the jar, it is now a finished product. AcreSeason™ Red Rhubarb Jam 5.3 oz (150g) About the Label The label includes the product name, ingredients, net weight, best-by date, and nutrition information. Ingredients: red rhubarb, beet sugar (from Hokkaido, Japan), lemon juice Net weight: 5.3 oz (150g) Best if used by: March 19, 2027 I chose a deep blue as the main color of the label to go with the deep red of the rhubarb. I think it gives the jam a refined, calm, and premium look. The color suits the rhubarb I raised with such care, and I am very happy with it. Pre-Orders Are Open Pre-orders are now open. The price is ¥1,500 per jar (including Japanese consumption tax), with flat-r...

Red rhubarb from my garden If you’ve ever bitten into a raw rhubarb stalk, you know it’s not exactly a snack. It’s sharp, sour, and a little puckering. That sourness is the reason rhubarb almost always ends up in sweet recipes. A recent Chowhound article on why rhubarb shows up so often in desserts makes the same point: rhubarb needs sugar to shine. I’ve seen it firsthand in my own kitchen. Growing it myself I grow my own rhubarb, and my plant is now in its second year. Watching it come back and grow stronger has been one of the most rewarding parts of my garden. Why jam works so well Jam may be the best way to show off rhubarb’s personality. Cooking it down with sugar softens the stalks and turns that sharp bite into something bright and tangy-sweet. But sugar alone isn’t the whole story. When I make jam from my homegrown rhubarb, lemon juice is what helps me balance the sweetness, so the jam tastes fresh and lively instead of just sugary. Try it yourself My red rh...

Hello, everyone! Thank you for stopping by my blog. Where the Rhubarb Jam Began Its Journey Today, I'd like to share a little about the day I sent my rhubarb jam off to friends. At the Counter: Sending the Jam Off to Friends Oct 15, 3:30 PM: I've started shipping AcreSeason™ Red Rhubarb Jam (19.75 oz / 560 g) as gifts to my dear friends here in the U.S. This jam is made from red rhubarb that I grew and hand-selected myself, and I'd love for my closest friends to be the first to taste it. The jars are expected to arrive between October 17 and 19. I hope they like the jam! I'll share their reactions once the jars arrive. That’s all for today. See you next time!

To my dear friend and my family here, I'm all set. I'd like to send you some of the AcreSeason™ Red Rhubarb Jam we made, and I hope you'll enjoy it. I brought a medium-sized suitcase full of jam with me from Japan: twelve 5.3 oz jars and ten 19.75 oz jars. I'm planning to give them as gifts to my friends and family here, and I'll send yours from the U.S. while I'm visiting. If you're worried about how the jam is processed, please take a look at The Story Behind AcreSeason™ Red Rhubarb Jam: How Our 5.3 oz (150g) and 19.75 oz (560g) Jars Are Made . I'm sure it will put your mind at ease. AcreSeason™ Red Rhubarb Jam 19.75 oz, wrapped carefully before shipping Declaring the Jam at Entry The twelve 5.3 oz jars don't have their labels yet, because they are still being prepared, although each jar is still sealed with its cap cover. Because of that, I was a little nervous, so I went straight to the customs and agriculture inspection area and decl...
