Jaba, never mind the PC and NC, just send me some of that Asparagus, ours is almost $4 a pound, have a friend In Michigan who sent me #30 of Rhubarb last year, froze it in 5 cups bags and this year made 2 batches of Rhubarb/Cranberry jam.. You actually let it sit overnight with sugar ( the rhubarb) and finish the next da, take about 15 minutes in all and stores in the refrig for a ear or better....

Ladybug1938 -- I'd love to get your recipe for the rhubarb/cranberry jam, if at all possible! I have one rhubarb plant in the yard & it's a great producer! I usually put rhubarb into pies, but the jam sounds delightful.

I hope it's okay to put it here, real simple... 5 cups of cut up Rhubarb ( cut into small pieces) Put in large bowl and add 3 cups of sugar, mix well, cover and leave overnight. I stir it a few times until I go to bed.. In the morning bring it to a boil and boil 5 minutes... Turn off heat, add 1package ( 3oz) of Cranberry or Raspberry or Strawberry jello till thoroughly dissolved.. Put into jars, I use 1 cup jars put on lids and let cool, put in refrigerator... Keeps for a long time... Any questions let me know...

Wow, Rosemary, sounds too simple! That's it, then, just rhubarb, sugar & 1 pkg jello? No water? I think I can handle that. I'll let you know as soon as I can get enough rhubarb! Thank you so very much!

Husband brought us in each a ripened blackberry. Sweet, but just a bit tart. I will have to watch them day by day now to pick them at the right time. We have them growing here wild, and I remember growing up with my parents picking so many bucket fulls of them to use in cobblers, jams, etc.
Years ago I had a neighbor who grew rhubarb, and would can hers up too into jams, but also make rhubarb pie.

Doris, Jan is unable to take pictures. I guess we have to go without that one this month.

Jaba I wouldn't try boiling because of the jello... I do sterilize the jars in boing water, and dunk the lids in before I put them on, you only get about 5 jars, I use old jelly jars from the store bought jam too..
