Mermelada de ruibarbo Mömmu Rabbabarasulta 400 g

Rhubarb is the fruit Iceland can actually grow. This is what happens next.

Sharp, tart, faintly floral: rhubarb jam is the closest thing Iceland has to a national preserve, and every household has an opinion on it. It goes with the lamb roast, onto pönnukökur, into hjónabandssæla, over skyr, and onto buttered flatkökur without ceremony. Rhubarb grows where almost nothing else does in an Icelandic garden, which is exactly why it ended up in a jar in every kitchen in the country. 400g jar.

• Iceland's national preserve: tart rhubarb, not another sweet berry jam
• Serve with lamb, on pancakes, over skyr, or baked into hjónabandssæla
• 400g jar · shelf stable, refrigerate after opening
