HOW TO MAKE THE MOST AMAZING RHUBARB JAM WITHOUT SUGAR
Steps:
- Step 1: Add 6 cups of chopped rhubarb to a pot with 1/2 cup of water. Cook it down until you can smash the rhubarb with the back of a spoon. Once your rhubarb reaches this stage, smush it all and take it off the heat. It only took my rhubarb 3 minutes on medium-high heat. Step 2: Measure out your crushed rhubarb to make sure you have 4 cups and put it back in the pan. Add your 1 cup of Erythritol and 1/2 cup of Splenda and the pat of butter. Put the pan back on the heat and bring to a rolling boil. Step 3: Add the pectin when your rhubarb is at a rolling boil and start a timer for 2 minutes. When the timer stops, remove from the heat. Step 4: Use a jar funnel (these things make filling canning jars a breeze) and a ladle and fill your sterilized mason jars Step 5: Cooling and Storing Your Rhubarb Jam Add the lids and set aside to cool. Once your jars are cool, you can put them in the fridge, or toss in the freezer for a later date.

Tips:
- For a sweeter jam, use a sweeter variety of cherries, such as Rainier or Bing. You can also add a small amount of stevia or erythritol to taste.
- If you don't have fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb. Just thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to use a large enough pot, as the jam will bubble up quite a bit during cooking.
- Stir the jam constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the jam reaches the correct temperature before removing it from the heat.
- Allow the jam to cool completely before storing it in jars.
