Plain and simple jam for rhubarb lovers!

The orange juice and orange zest combine with the tartness of the rhubarb to create an amazing natural sweetness.

I altered this recipe recently and added the flavoured gelatin ("Jello") and the low-sugar pectin to give the jam a thicker consistency and a beautiful deep red colour.

Here is how to make this delectable rhubarb jam.

Tip: 

For an even thicker jam, combine the fresh rhubarb and sugar in a bowl, and allow the mixture to sit for about 3 hours prior to making the jam, and then omit the water ingredient

Pour jam into freezer-safe containers or canning jars, leaving about a 1/2" - 1" headspace and top with lids.

Allow fresh jam to stand on the counter until cooled.

Store jam in freezer, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks ... but it will most likely not last than long if your family likes rhubarb like ours does!

Makes about 6 cups / 3 pints or 48 oz. of delicious jam!

This freezer / refrigerator rhubarb jam makes a great topping for ice cream, pudding, cheesecake, and yogurt too!
