How to Make Kittencal's Easy Rhubarb Strawberry Refrigerator Jam

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups chopped rhubarb, 3 cups granulated sugar (or 2 cups for a less sweet jam), and 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries.
  2. Gently stir to coat the fruit with sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the fruit to macerate and release its juices.
  3. After macerating, bring the rhubarb, strawberry, and sugar mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring constantly, for 12 minutes. The mixture should thicken slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 package (3 oz) of your favorite flavored gelatin powder until completely dissolved. (Optional: For a smoother jam, whisk the gelatin with a couple of tablespoons of the hot jam before adding it to the rest).
  6. Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized glass jars, leaving about ½ inch of headspace. Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
