RHUBARB RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, sugar, raspberries, and lemon juice in a large pot. Let sit until sugar begins to dissolve, about 5 minutes. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Add raspberry-flavored gelatin; stir until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove jam from heat.
• Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and place jars 2 inches apart into the water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until completely cool, about 2 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight. Store in a cool, dark area.

HOMEMADE RASPBERRY RHUBARB FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Place raspberries, rhubarb, sugar, and minute tapioca in a medium to large-size pot. (Feel free to add the sugar in steps. Taste it as you go so you don't make it too sweet. Adjust to your own personal taste).
• Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 1 to 2 minutes. I use a potato masher to smush up the rhubarb and berries as it cooks. Stir often to prevent burning.
• Reduce the heat to medium to medium-low and continue to simmer at a very low boil for 10-15 minutes, make sure to stir. Continue to simmer until the jam is thickened.
• Carefully spoon the hot raspberry rhubarb jam into clean, sanitized glass jars. Leave about 1-inch of headspace. This recipe will fill 3 pint jars. Let the jam cool completely, about 2-3 hours. Then place on a tight-fitting lid. I store all of my jars in the fridge until they are cold, and then leave 1 jar in the fridge and move the other 2 jars into the freezer.
• Enjoy!
