How to Make Libby's Mulberry Rhubarb Jam

  1. Combine 4 cups of mulberries, 2 cups chopped rhubarb, and 4 cups of sugar in a large saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and begins to bubble.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 (3 ounce) package of lemon Jell-O.
  4. Return to a low simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the Jell-O is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jelly jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  6. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust according to your altitude and jar size). Alternatively, freeze in airtight freezer containers.
  7. Allow to cool completely before checking for a good seal. Store in a cool, dark place.
