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...

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 cups sliced rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
4 cups granulated sugar
1 (6 oz.) box cherry gelatin
1 (21 oz.) can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, add the rhubarb and sugar; stir to coat evenly.
  • 2. Cover the bowl, and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
  • 3. The next morning, place the rhubarb mixture in a large kettle.
  • 4. Cook over medium heat; stirring constantly, until mixture starts to boil, then lower the heat just a bit, and cook for 12 minutes (stirring constantly).
  • 5. Remove kettle from heat, and add the gelatin powder, and keep stirring for 1 minute.
  • 6. Add the can of pie filling, and stir thoroughly until mixed through.
  • 7. Return the kettle to the stove. Start to cook over medium heat; stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • 8. Remove the kettle from the heat, and carefully ladle the jam into the sterilized glass jars.
  • 9. Cover the jars with the lids, then cool the jam to room temperature, before storing the jam in the refrigerator or freezer.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh rhubarb and cherries for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have time to pit the cherries, you can use frozen unsweetened cherries instead.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the jam, as it will bubble up and expand during cooking.
  • Stir the jam frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the jam, as this is the best way to ensure that it has reached the proper consistency.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the consistency of the jam by placing a small amount on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is ready.
  • Pour the finished jam into sterilized jars and seal them tightly. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure that they are properly sealed.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb cherry jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It also makes a great addition to baked goods, such as pies, tarts, and muffins. With its bright red color and tart flavor, rhubarb cherry jam is a surefire hit with family and friends.
