Rhubarb Jam With Fruit

I got this recipe from a friend about 30 years ago, and after the friend had also given me an abundance of rhubarb from her garden. This is a very easy jam to make. I love the added crushed pineapple, and maraschino cherries in this jam.

Steps

In a large bowl , add the rhubarb and sugar.
Stir to coat evenly.
Cover the bowl , and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
The next morning , place the rhubarb mixture in a large kettle , and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Lower the heat just abit , and gently boil for 15 minutes.
Add the crushed pineapple , the chopped maraschino cherries.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Turn off stove , then add the dry gelatin powder to the kettle.
Mix well.
Transfer the jam to the sterilized glass jars , and cover with the lids.
Cool the jam to room temperature , before storing it in the refrigerator or freezer.
