CHERRY, RHUBARB, RASPBERRY FREEZER JAM



Cherry, Rhubarb, Raspberry Freezer Jam image

I have always wanted to make jam out of my rhubarb, but did not want it to sweet or to sour..and I love cherries so I went to the cupboard and revamped a recipe that I had. This may be a little on the sweet side but not enough to mask the flavor of the rhubarb and having the cherry mingled in there was the part that put it over...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 1/2 c rhubarb, chopped
1 1/2 c water
7 1/2 c sugar
1 can(s) cherry pie filling (any size will work, depending on the amount of cherry's you like)
1 large and 1 small package of raspberry gelatin
you can use cherry gelatin

Steps:

  • 1. Chop up fresh rhubarb and add to a large pot with the water. Cook the rhubarb until it is tender and soft. Add the sugar to the cooked rhubarb, stir and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring all the time.
  • 2. Add the cherry pie filling and stir and cook for 10 minutes more Remove from heat (you do not have to skim the top). Add the gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved and no lumps. Ladle into freezer containers. Fruit will float to top so divide the fruit between the containers. Let completely cool. Clean up spills and drips and put the lids on each container of jam. Put one container in the refrigerator to start eating tomorrow. Place the rest of the containers of jam in the freezer.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh cherries and raspberries. This will ensure that your jam has the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the jam. This will give the jam plenty of room to boil and splatter.
  • Stir the jam constantly while it is cooking. This will prevent it from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Test the jam for doneness by spooning a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is done.
  • Let the jam cool completely before storing it. This will help the jam to set and thicken.
  • Store the jam in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve the jam's flavor and quality.
