Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam

I'm not usually a jam person. This recipe changed my mind. The blend of sweet strawberry with tangy rhubarb is a perfect blend. And, because it is made with jello instead of pectin, you can adjust the sugar according to your tastes.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam
.
4 cups cut ruhbarb
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup sliced strawberries
3 1/2 cups sugar
.
Boil about 15 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Set off stove. Smash with potatoe masher or blend in blender. Add 1 (3 oz) package strawberry jello. Seal in Jars.

(If you like your jam a little more tangy, use 5 cups rhubarb and omit the strawberries .)
