Rhubarb Jam
"This is a very old recipe for making rhubarb jam and it is known under a variety of names, but it keeps coming back because it is easy and tastes good. It will darken as it ages, but it still is an excellent jam. Use rhubarb with small stalks rather than larger stalks. Use jars that have been specifically made for home canning (not old peanut butter or pickle jars), with two-piece lids, and use a new seal every time. The jars and screw-tops can be re-used."

The recipe calls for 2 boxes (85 oz) of Strawberry jelly powder. I wasn't sure what this is or should it have read Strawberry Jell-O powder? Thanks!
