  This is delicious and easy to make. I only had one vanilla pod and found this was enough. Will definately be making this again!

  I made this with half quantities, very easy and really tasty, not entirely sure what the vanilla brings, might have to leave it a few weeks to develop. I will be making this again, but maybe I'll try leaving out the vanilla.

  This is so yum! And so easy! Was my first jam-making attempt and recipe was great, the 2 vanilla pods really make it very more-ish

  OOOh what? The mother of all jams this one..I'm not particularly over-fond of rhubarb but the vanilla lifts it into anther dimension...fantastic! I didn't have jam sugar, so just used granulated and it worked a treat. Thank you!

  Made this without the vanilla and it was a massive hit, made it loads of times since and it's always gone down well.

  Very tasty - the vanilla really does add to the jam...it's a bit like having rhubarb and custard on toast because of the vanilla flavour, but it's not overly sweet which is good. I'll be making more in the spring when the new rhubarb starts coming through!!

  Made this recipe a few months ago...I used a higher quality pectin that stated I needed less sugar, and added strawberries...so, basically used this recipe for inspiration then! Went strawberry picking and made the jam on the same day, so they still had that fresh, sun-baked taste. The crowds went wild and I'll be giving them away as presents all Christmas.

  Absolutely scrumptious! As some reviewers suggested, I used only 1 vanilla pod and that was plenty. I wouldn't skim off the scum though, as you'd be removing the lovely vanilla seeds too. Delia suggests putting in a small knob of butter at the end before filling the jars, and that's worked a treat. Will difinitely be making this again.

  Made this today, really lovely jam, have packed it up in fancy jars to give away as presents - Added the amount of vanilla called for in the recipe and I wouldn't add less, it gave it a lovely flavour. Also didn't skim the top while cooking as recommended by a previous poster, didn't need to really Foodylover, you can pick up vanilla pods in most bakery sections of the supermarket

  not sure if anyone replied to the vanilla hunter .... you can get them at any supermarket. Sainsbury, waitrose are quiet expensive, but even Asda sell it - and it is still good quality. Tesco - (political issues) i really try to avoid - but i have seen it in there in the past. Hope this helps. - by the way GF, the forum is really great - helps me to make my mind up over a recipy.
