Pineapple Rhubarb Jam

As a kid, I remember my mom making the BEST strawberry jam ever. (Which is why I asked her to make me some this season!) I love her jam, and thought about trying some myself when I came across several recipes for Pineapple Rhubarb jam. I had plenty of rhubarb in my backyard so I tried it out. Feeling adventurous? You can try it too! Its easy!
First, gather your ingredients:
10 Cups, fresh, chopped rhubarb
1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple **Do not drain!**
2 cups sugar
1 (6 oz.) package strawberry gelatin

Place rhubarb, pineapple and sugar into sauce pan.
Bring to boil and cook until rhubarb is tender (about 20 min.).
Remove from heat and stir in gelatin.

Ladle into jam jars.

Enjoy!

How simple was that? I never knew making jam could be so easy! This jam has a zip to it. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom's strawberry jam, but when I'm in the mood for something different, this is the way to go!
This would also make a great gift! Freeze some now and give this holiday season!
