Made this for many years, great with venison. Doubled this and came out with 7 pints exactly. One gallon of rhubarb is just shy of 5# of stems

I canned this about a year ago, put off eating it, was never sure if I wanted to deal with new tastes....don't know what I waited for, its so good, better than anything tomato based on the store shelf...I did add a little Apple Cider Vinegar for some twang, but otherwise this is just really, really good. -
Use to make this years ago but lost the recipe. Thanks for posting it, so glad to have it back. This is one jam that really brightens the winter dinner table, when the green world is cold, gray and buried under the white of snow , and one of my favorites.

This sauce is excellent. I served it with deep fried turkey and my entire family loved it. The only thing I did differently was that for the raisins, in addition to the raisins I also added flaved craisans in orange, cherry, strawberry, cranberry, and dried mixed berries to equal the 1 1/2 cups of chopped raisins to give the sauce a mixed fruity flaver. Thanks for posting this recipe.
