Wonderful! My husband and kids cannot get enough of it. I followed other reviews and decreased the sugar as well as using only 3/4 of the jellow so it tasted more tart from the rhubarb! I also pureed the rhubarb as my husband loves the taste of it but hates the stringy texture! I've made this many times this summer and have a freezer full of it!

The jello made the jam lumpy.

Very good, but definitely reduce the sugar. I, too, added some fresh strawberries to the cooking pot, after the rhubarb had been cooking awhile. I doubled the recipe, using 12 cups of rhubarb and 5 cups of sugar and that was plenty sweet. I got twelve one-cup jars (which will be great for gifts) and almost 2 cups leftover for my own fridge. I did process them for 10 minutes.

Everyone in my house loves this jam. I make it as often as I can pick the rhubarb off our plant.

I have used this recipe for a while - not sure where I got it but I double it and I don't let it stand overnight. I cook it on low until the sugar dissolves and then boil it for about a half an hour or until the rhubarb is soft. When heat processed this will store for about a year.

easy, one pot jam. This made one container for my fridge and one for the freezer. It was too sweet for me, even though I reduced the sugar. And it it tasted too strongly of jello - couldn't really taste the rhubarb at all.

Incredibly easy and surprisingly good. only had 3 cups of rhubarb so used 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/2 pkg jello. Made 2 8-oz jelly jars.

I know its late in the season but I used rhubarb from my garden to make this jam. I only had 2 1/2 cups rhubarb from my 1 plant so I used only half the recipe. Also, I processed the jam so I could put most of it in my 1 remaining jelly jar and have the rest for breakfast tomorrow. For the processing, I hard boiled the sugar, rhubarb, and 4/5 box of pectin for about 5 minutes and let simmer for an additional 7 minutes then added 1.5 oz gelatin. I put everything in a sterile jar, put lid and band on, and water bath for 10 minutes. The pectin and gelatin probably wasn't necessary but I read reviewers state it had a runny consistency and I wanted a harder jam. All in all, the jam was really sweet so I'll have to decrease the sugar next time.

This was very yummy, I used more as a sauce in my oatmeal and on ice cream than as a jam. When making it, I used one cup sugar, one cup sugar substitute, and sugar-free jello. (Maybe that made a difference in the consistancy. Not sure.)
