Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh rhubarb, approximately 5 to 6 cups
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 3 oz. package of strawberry gelatin 
 
A sweet, flavorful jam that makes a great spread or topping on many foods, such as bread, biscuits,
crackers, toast, French toast, pancakes, and waffles.
 
Directions
  • Clean rhubarb and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Place rhubarb in a large bowl and add
    sugar. Stir until the sugar is distributed evenly. Allow rhubarb to stand for 3 to 5 hours. Stir
    occasionally. After the rhubarb and sugar have been allowed to stand for the appropriate amount
    of time, place them in a large saucepan.
  • Bring rhubarb to a boil over medium to medium
    high heat. Once the rhubarb comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium and allow to boil for 10

1

minutes.
  • Make sure canning jars are clean and ready to fill before jam is done. The lids should
    be placed in a small sauce pan with enough water to cover and brought to a simmer. Leave lids in
    hot water until placing on jars.
  • After the rhubarb has boiled for 10 minutes, remove it from
    the heat and add strawberry gelatin. Stir until gelatin has dissolved.
  • Spoon or pour hot jam
    into pint canning jars. Seal with canning lids and covers. Screw cover on firmly, but do not over
    tighten. Allow jam to cool completely.
  • This recipe will produce approximately 3 pints of
    jam.
