| I'd like to make some rhubarb jam, but am having trouble finding a recipe for it. I'd like some that is not mixed with strawberry or orange juice or some such thing. We'd like that rhubarb flavor itself. Does anyone have a recipe for me? Thanks so much! |

Wow, I am now going to start a rumor about the rhubarb conspiracy. I looked through several cookbooks, including my ancient Fannie Farmer, and i couldn't believe that there wasn't a recipe for rhubarb jam, just all these strange recipes with oranges, strawberries, grape jello, crushed pineapple, etc. Rhubarb has such a distinctive lovely flavor. I'm going to investigate this further, somebody must have a recipe for just the real flavor rhubarb jam, back to my cookbook shelves....Karin

I Think..I THINK...my mom just cut up the Rhubarb, cooked it down with some sugar and then added a packet of strawberry gelatin, boiled it a little until it got thick or she just did the rhubarb with plain gelatin, for a thickner, but I like the strawberry. Then she canned it. It was a little sweet and sticky!!! YUMMY!!!

Yeah, here's one from rhubarbinfo.com:
Simple Rhubarb Jam
Ingredients:
5 c Rhubarb
1 sm Jello powder
3 c White sugar
Procedure:
Cook rhubarb and then add sugar, mixing well. Add Jello and stir until dissolved. Seal in jars.
You could probably use Mary Jane's chill-over powder instead of the jello (which obviously would be flavored strawberry or something) and get the same results...
