How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves

  1. Combine 2 cups frozen sweetened strawberries, 2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb, 1 cup crushed pineapple (in juice), 1 (3-ounce) package strawberry gelatin, and 1 (3-ounce) package wild strawberry gelatin in a large saucepan.
  2. Stir in 1 ½ cups of sugar and ½ cup water.
  3. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar and gelatin.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The jam will thicken as it simmers.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  6. Ladle the hot preserves into sterilized jars, leaving ½-inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on tightly, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check the seals to ensure they are airtight.
  9. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Enjoy your homemade Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves!
