How to Make Rhubarb Cherry Refrigerator Or Freezer Jelly

  1. Dice 4 cups of rhubarb and place in a large bowl.
  2. Pour 4 cups of granulated sugar over the rhubarb and gently toss to coat completely.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  4. Transfer the rhubarb mixture to a medium-sized saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is tender (approximately 15-20 minutes).
  5. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can cherry pie filling and 1 (3 ounce) package of Jell-O (any flavor).
  6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly, until all gelatin granules are dissolved and the mixture is completely smooth and thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of almond extract.
  8. Pour the mixture into a heat-proof shallow pan (approximately 8x8 inches).
  9. Refrigerate until completely cold and set (approximately 4-6 hours).
  10. Once set, cut into squares and place into airtight plastic containers or glass jars.
  11. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
