Canning episode #4

Well, I posted on facebook a week or so ago that I wanted (needed) rhurbarb. One sister in church came forward and gave me hers because it was consuming her and she needed to be saved from it. I was happy to oblige. I got about 14 cups from it. Then another sister in church has 6 plants that were very bountiful and said take as much as you want. That gave me about 30 cups and she said I could come back for more which I might because 6 cups of rhubarb barely makes 6 half pint jars. I used the easiest recipe ever for this and then kind of made it my own by adding some different fruits to it as well.  Here is the link to it.

Here are my modifications:
 6 cups of rhubarb
2 cups of sugar
strawberry jello
then a handful of strawberries and huckleberries

You have to let your rhubarb sit in the sugar. I did it over night. This is so the juices of the rhubarb come out.

 Ready to cook over the stove for about 15 minutes until mushy.

 I added these fruits in midway thru the rhubarb cooking. Then when I had about 3 mins left, I added about 3/4 of the strawberry jello. I used regular jello not the sugar free kind. I would like to try that too

After 10-15 minutes of a nice water bath. I have yumminess. Really good stuff.
