Ingredients:

- 1 cup water
- 5 cups white sugar
- 1 package raspberry Jell-O gelatin
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Rhubarb:
In a large preserving kettle, combine the chopped rhubarb and water. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until the rhubarb is tender. This initial cooking process helps soften the rhubarb and release its natural juices. -
Sweeten the Jam:
Once the rhubarb is tender, add the white sugar to the kettle. Stir well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed. Bring the mixture to a boil and allow it to boil for 2 minutes. The sugar not only sweetens the jam but also acts as a preservative, helping to prolong its shelf life. -
Incorporate Raspberry Flavor:
Stir in the package of raspberry Jell-O gelatin until it is fully dissolved. The raspberry flavor adds a delightful twist to the traditional rhubarb jam, creating a harmonious blend of sweet and tangy notes. -
Cool the Mixture:
Remove the kettle from the heat and let the jam mixture cool for about 10 minutes. This brief cooling period allows the jam to thicken slightly and ensures that it reaches the ideal consistency for canning. -
Prepare the Jars:
While the jam mixture is cooling, prepare your sterilized mason jars for canning. Ensure that the jars are clean and sterile to prevent any contamination. Leave about a 1/4 inch headspace at the top of each jar to allow for expansion during the canning process. -
Can the Jam:
Carefully ladle the cooled jam into the sterilized mason jars, filling them to the appropriate headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars clean to remove any spills or residue. Secure the lids tightly on the jars to create a seal. -
Process in a Water Bath:
Place the filled jars in a boiling water bath, ensuring that they are fully submerged. Process the jars in the boiling water bath for 15 minutes. This processing time helps to seal the jars and prevent spoilage, ensuring that your jam stays fresh for an extended period. -
Cool and Store:
After the processing time is complete, carefully remove the jars from the water bath using canning tongs. Place the jars on a clean towel or cooling rack to cool completely. Once cooled, check the seals on the jars to ensure they are tight and secure. Label the jars with the date and contents, then store them in a cool, dry place until ready to enjoy.
