Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium pot, combine chopped rhubarb, pure maple syrup, lemon juice, pectin powder, and table salt.
  2. Set the pot over high heat, stir to mix, and watch closely as the mixture heats up.
  3. Continuously stir until the mixture reaches a full boil, about 5-7 minutes, then maintain heat for 2 minutes.
