Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

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.

Notes

Some of the comments on the 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.
