cups finely chopped fresh rhubarb (about 1-1/2 lb.)

cups sugar

Make It

WASH jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.

MIX rhubarb, sugar and water in large saucepan. Cook on high heat 2 min. or until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until rhubarb is tender, stirring occasionally. Uncover; cook an additional 12 to 15 min. or until mixture is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

ADD gelatin; stir until dissolved. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.

LADLE immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Turn jars upside-down. After 5 min., turn upright. Or, follow water bath method recommended by USDA. Cool. Store in refrigerator.

Note

Jam is best used within 1 month since it will become very thick with longer storage.

This is the easiest jam recipe I have ever made. It's great using raspberry jello, I really like orange or lemon too. It's a family favorite.

I made this with sugar-free strawberry jello. Everyone that I gave some to want some more.

I absolutely love this recipe. It was so easy to make and had wonderful flavor. I use it on toast & bagels, but my husband loves to spoon it over ice cream.

I have been making this jam for 30 years and my mother made it for 30 years before me. She added a package of kool-aid to give the jam more color .It is great either way.

I do have to say i am surprised to even see this recipe in here. I thought my grandmother was the only one who made this Jam but she added a can of crushed pineapple and fresh strawberries with this and she froze the jars making it like freezer jam...I want to say thank you to who gave or discovered the recipe..
