   • Begin by cutting your fresh rhubarb into small pieces.
   • Place the rhubarb pieces in a 2-quart saucepan or small stockpot.

2. Cook the Rhubarb:

   • Add the water to the saucepan with the rhubarb.
   • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb becomes very soft. This usually takes about 15 minutes.

3. Sweeten the Jam:

   • Once the rhubarb is soft, add the sugar and the can of blueberry pie filling to the saucepan.
   • Continue cooking over medium heat for another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves and the mixture combines well.

4. Add the Jell-O:

   • Remove the saucepan from the heat.
   • Sprinkle the entire package of raspberry Jell-O over the rhubarb mixture.
   • Stir the Jell-O into the mixture until it is completely dissolved.

5. Cool and Store:

   • Once the Jell-O is fully incorporated, it’s time to portion out your jam.
   • Divide the jam into clean, sterilized plastic or glass containers.

6. Chill and Enjoy:

   • Allow the jam to cool completely at room temperature.
   • Once cooled, cover the containers and store them in the refrigerator or freezer.
