My Rhubarb Jam
I used about 7+ little jars.
12 sticks of Rhubarb, cut into 3-4 inch lengths. Nuked with about an ounce of water for 3 min. Dumped it into my large cooking pot. Ran my hand held chopper through the mushy rhubarb. Added a large bottle of strawberrt jam. Let boil gently for about 10 min. Then added a tabl. of lemon juice & a pkg. of strawberry jello.Simmer another 10 min. add 1/2 cup sugar or to taste if needed. It is so good. I'm not much of a jam maker. I just remember my mom using jello instead of Certo.

I've already made two batches of this jam. Love it on soda crackers. And with peanut butter.
3 c. cut-up rhubarb
1/2 c. water
Boil this or 2 to 3 min. (until mushy)then mash with a potato masher
Add 2 1/2 c. sugar
Bring to boil about 3 min. to dissolve sugar.
Remove from heat and stir in
3 oz. pack raspberry jello (can be any flavor)
Stir well and cool slightly.
Put in jars
Makes about 4 1/2 c.
Refrigerate. I've kept it I several months.
