How to Make Rhubarb Berry Jam

  1. Wash and chop 4 cups of rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb with 3 cups of granulated sugar. Gently stir to coat the rhubarb evenly.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight to allow the rhubarb to macerate and release its juices.
  4. The next morning, transfer the rhubarb mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or kettle.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 12 minutes. Use a candy thermometer to monitor temperature. Maintain a gentle simmer around 220°F (104°C).
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add 1 (3 ounce) package raspberry gelatin and 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin.
  8. Stir continuously for 1 minute until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  9. Add 1 (15 ounce) can of blueberry pie filling. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  10. Return the saucepan to medium-low heat and bring the mixture back to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Cook for another 5 minutes to ensure the jam thickens.
  11. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  12. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  13. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, and seal with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
  14. Allow the jars to cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check to make sure the jars have sealed properly.
  15. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark pantry. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2-3 weeks.
