Marylin's Rhubarb Strawberry Jam Recipe

Here's a really easy and quick jam recipe using rhubarb. And just about every Alaskan with a garden has a plot of this versatile plant growing somewhere. You can use other flavors of jello to make different combinations. I've used cherry and raspberry flavors for a nice variety.

• Cut rhubarb in half inch slices.
• Stir rhubarb and sugar together. (I found 3 cups to be enough.)
• Let stand for 2 to 3 hours. The rhubarb juices will be drawn from the plant to make a liquid for cooking in.
• Bring to a full boil, and boil for 5 minutes.
• Add jello, stir well.
• Pour into clean hot jars, put on seals, rings and tighten down.
• Process for 10 minutes in boiling water bath.

Good Cookin',
