====== Strawberry Rhubarb Jam ======
/* Description */

Mom used to make this when I was a kid and I loved it. Whenever I'd ask for the recipe she'd tell me that she didn't write it down.  I did a quick look on the internet and I found this version, straight from Jell-O, so it should be about right. It almost can't get any easier.

|**Preheat:** °|**Yield:**  servings||
|**Prep:** 0:20|**Wait:** 0:00|**Cook:** 0:40|


====== Ingredients ======
  * 6 cups finely chopped fresh rhubarb (about 1-1/2 lb.)
  * 3-1/2 cups sugar
  * 1/4 cup water
  * 1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin


====== Directions ======
  - 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 1/4 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.

====== Notes ======
Some of the comments on the [[http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/jell-o-rhubarb-berry-jam-51942.aspx|Kraft website:]]
  * 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.
  * ...she froze the jars making it like freezer jam. I want to say thank you to who gave or discovered the recipe.
