How to Make Rhubarb Cherry Jam

  1. Wash and chop 4 cups of rhubarb into small ½-inch pieces.
  2. Combine the chopped rhubarb with 3 cups of granulated sugar in a large glass bowl. Gently mix and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. In the morning, bring the rhubarb and sugar mixture to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. While the rhubarb mixture simmers, prepare 1 (15-ounce) can of cherry pie filling. Puree it in a blender until smooth.
  5. Add the pureed cherry pie filling to the rhubarb mixture. Bring the combined mixture back to a boil.
  6. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 (1.75-ounce) package of cherry flavored gelatin until completely dissolved.
  7. Add almond extract to taste (start with ½ teaspoon and adjust). Stir well.
  8. Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Seal tightly.
  9. Makes approximately 4 pints. Enjoy!
