Rhubarb Jelly....Another recipe from childhood.

[norgeway]

My Mother used to make this when I was a kid.
2 cups almost cooked done rhubarb
2 cups sugar
1 small package strawberry jello
Cook rhubarb almost done, measure, and add the rest of ingredients, stirring constantly bring to a boil, remove from heat, cool a few minutes, pour into jars, seal, cool slightly, then place in refrigerator until used.

Here is step one...Wash and cut up rhubarb.

Step four...

Step five..

Measure rhubarb, I had four cups, so that means..double the recipe.

Step six..

Pour rhubarb back into pan, for four cups fruit, I added four cups sugar and two packages strawberry jello., bring to a boil stirring constantly..on medium heat, it burns easily, so dont take your hand off the spoon.

When it boils...

It will look foamy..

Step seven...

Cool a few minutes,then ladle into hot jars, place hot lids on and seal, allow to stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, then refrigerate until used..This is wonderful on a hot biscuit, but also heated and served on vanilla ice cream!
