Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 c chopped rhubarb
5 c sugar
1 c water
1 small can crushed pineapple drained (I used a 20 oz. can)
1 - 6 oz strawberry jello (large box) or 2 small 3 oz. boxes

Steps:

  • 1. Gather you ingredients to make your jam.
  • 2. Cook rhubarb, sugar and water until it comes to a boil. It should about 7 - 10 minutes. (I used a potato masher to mash up the rhubarb just a little. It does break down fast though and doesn't need much mashing.)
  • 3. Add drained pineapple and cook 5 more minutes. Remove from stove and add jello, stirring till it is dissolved.
  • 4. Put into sterilized jars and place the lids on. I let my jars rest on the counter for about an hour and then stored them in the freezer.
  • 5. I am pleased to say, that I added a 20 oz. can of drained pineapple and the jam still set up.
  • 6. Label your jars and make sure you put a date on them. This jam will be good in the freezer up to a year and once opened good only for 1 month.
  • 7. Nephew Brendan taste testing jams, jellies, preserves and marmalades. He and his brother Noah especially loved this jam.
