Rhubarb/Raz Jelly

Submitted by Laudee

"My mom got this great jelly recipe from her neighbor, and taught me how to make it. It's very tasty and really simple to put together. Takes no time at all to make the jelly as I bring in the rhubarb from the garden and clean and cut it into 1" pieces and freeze 5 cups in a freezer bag."

Well Laudee, you certainly got me out of a "jam" this weekend. My grandchildren are coming & the cupboard is bare - at least there's no home made jam or jelly - and they won't eat the store bought stuff anymore. Fortunately, I had 2 bags of rhubarb in the freezer (it came to exactly 5 cups) and 1 package of jello in the cupboard. Would you believe that it was raspberry - I was destined to try this recipe!!! I didn't have time for it to sit overnight ( 8 hours had to do) but it worked out anyway. I don't like lumps of fruit in my jams...so I used a potato masher to remove. This was easy to make & tastes very good. Thank you!!!

This jelly is outstanding! I couldn't be happier with the results. What a great way to use up rhubarb. I had 5 cups in the freezer and it turned out great. I can't wait until I have more rhubarb to pick so that I can make more. My husband is so crazy about this jelly that the entire jar is almost gone in one week. Thank you so much for posting!

A quick way to make a very tasty, sweet jam, yet the tang of the rhubarb is still present.I made this with frozen rhubarb and a package of wild raspberry jello. It's the easiest jam I ever made! YUMMY!

This has got to be the easiest jam/jelly I have ever made. The end result was a perfect blend of the rhubarb & raspberry flavors..a sweet jelly with a slight tang to it. Thanks for sharing this one.
