Rhubarb Jam

Last year Shana came over with her two kids and we made this great tasting jam. While the kids played, we each tripled the recipe and made our own batches. There were lots of laughs + a big mess + kiddos played great together=fun! It is always fun to make this jam with a friend!

This recipe came from Sharon, a family friend from growing up. She makes it, and gives it to her friends as a little gift. Although this is best made in the spring (when the rhubarb is red and at its best) I seem to be a little late in life again this year and will be making it in the fall! Maybe next spring I will be on the ball.

Rhubarb Jam

5 cups Rhubarb
3 cups Sugar
1 3oz. pkg. Strawberry Jello

Cook rhubarb and sugar til boiling.
Remove from heat.
Add Jello and stir.

Put in jars-just refrigerate.
(I freeze it too!)

Happy Jam Making!!!

  2. I made the jam today, but with just the sugar and rhubard, it wasn't cooking up right, so I added a can of strawberry pie filling to it. Then added the jello at the end. It smelled and tasted good. I hope I didn't mess up your recipe.
