30 Minutes To Homemade CERTO Strawberry-Rhubarb Freezer Jam image

The recipe calls for 1 3/4 cup FRUIT, with 1 1/4 of that being crushed strawberries and the remaining 1/2 cup rhubarb. I hope you used the full amount, or your jam probably didn't turn out!! A very tasty jam with little time and less effort to prepare.
