Description

I make this jam every year with the over abundance of rhubarb in my garden. The great thing is that there is no need for strawberries – the flavor is in the Jello!

Ingredients

  • 8 cups Chopped Rhubarb
  • 3 cups Sugar
  • 1 box (Large 6 Oz. Box) Strawberry Jello (Use 1/2 Cup Plus 4 Teaspoons And Save The Rest For Next Time)

Preparation

Place rhubarb and sugar in a large pan and let this mixture sit for 2 hours. This brings the juices out of the rhubarb. Then turn on the heat and bring to a boil. Stir and boil for 5 minutes. Stir in the Jello mix and stir to mix well. Ladle the mixture into pint size jars, wipe lid, and place on the lid. Cool to room temperature. Place in the freezer.

I have always used canning jars which are tempered and can be placed in the freezer. Never have had a problem with cracking. Ever.

This is really similar to my grandma’s recipe. She used a small box of strawberry and a small box of raspberry jello. So easy to make and worth it!!

FYI…I don’t suspect that people will use the same cup/jar that I use. I’ve been using this one for years, and I just want to point out that while the jar says that I’ve never personally experienced any problem. I hope my use of the drinking jar doesn’t deter anyone from trying a great recipe that has been in my family for years. ~Kathy~

can I just put a note in that the cup showed in the picture says right on the front `not for home canning` and `not for hot products` on the back.

i know they look good, but i just wanted to make sure people know! i have these cups myself and love them!!!

I’m a little slow this morning. Can you explain the jello note about saving some for next time? I guess I didn’t think there was 1/2 cup of jello mix in the box. Please fill me in because this looks yummy!

Made this a year ago, and I’m just coming back to find it to fill the void in the freezer where all the jars used to live and use up the last of the rhubarb in my freezer. It is awesome, and easy! My husband, who is a jam lover, said it was his favorite jam, even better than his mom’s strawberry jam. It’s my favorite as well.
