This is the second time we have made this. I love how simple and quick it can can be made. The Jello adds sweetness, the red color, and flavor. I doubled the recipe and cooked it a little longer so that it be closer to 220 degrees, which is what my candy themometer suggested. My daughter said, "It tastes like a lollypop!"

I made this recipe yesterday and am disappointed. Yes it is simple. No the result does not taste like Rhubarb. It is also extremely sweet. What I ended up with is a Strawberry flavored jam with visible rhubarb but nil rhubarb tang or taste. I would certainly use this simple recipe again but I would put in gelatin only and drop the jello totally.

This is a good recipe! I followed the directions exactly, making sure not to count the 10 minute boil time untill after it hit a full boil. I will be making this again. I did make 12 jelly jars not the 8 that it said it would yield, but I did allow room for wax on the top. Note: this is a very sweet recipe. If your not in the mood for something very sweet I might reduce the sugar a bit. Thanks to you and your Granny!!

I hail from New Hampshire although I originally come from Iowa. I dabble in cooking but really enjoy all the sweet rewards involved with baking!
