Hi, everyone. I hope you're all having a great weekend. Thankfully, I've had a very productive day of housecleaning. Now, if it would only stay this way! :)
Recently one of my new blogging friends asked me for my mom's strawberry rhubarb jam recipe, so I called my mom and she gave it to me to share with you all. She said a neighbor had given her this recipe many years ago. It's not very complicated, but it is so delicious!
Strawberry~Rhubarb Jam
10 cups of chopped rhubarb, fresh or frozen
8 cups of sugar
3 boxes of strawberry jello mix
*Optional-one small can of crushed pineapple, not drained.
Directions:
Combine rhubarb and sugar in a large pot and cook on low. Stir occasionally until it melts together and becomes syrupy.
If you choose to use the pineapple, add it here, then turn the heat up and boil hard for ten minutes, stirring frequently.
Add in the jello mix, stirring as you add.
Fill jars and seal.
Makes five pints.
In light of our recent election, I just wanted to share a bit of Scripture.
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
I Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
I have many concerns about our nation, but I am so thankful that my hope does not rest in any national or state leader. My hope is in the LORD!
~Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. ~Jeremiah 17:7
I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. Thanks for stopping by.
Take care,
~Melanie

My mom used to make this same jelly -- I can vouch for its "yumminess!"
That jam does look yummy. We would like that very much!
I appreciate your thoughts concerning the election; I've been thinking similarly. So grateful that my hope is in the Lord and that He is ultimately in control.
Hi Melanie...our thoughts about the election are the same and we too place our trust in the Lord! God Bless ♥ Teri
Yes, it is so good! :)
Hi, Teri,
I'm so glad you stopped by. :)
It's comforting to know that God is here with us in every circumstance. He loves us and cares about us, and will provide all we need.
Hope all is well with you and your family. The weather here was just beautiful today. Take care, my sweet friend.♥
Sounds very yummy.
Yes, it is, Denise!! Continuing to pray for you, my friend.♥
Good Morning Melanie!
Love the recipe...I make strawberry rhubarb pie which is very similar. Rhubarb grows very well around our parts...so it is always nice to have new recipes for it! Like the little "zip" of pineapple...great addition!
Hope you all have a very blessed Sunday and a great week in school!
With love,
Laura
Good morning, Laura!
I hope you can use the recipe. The pineapple does make it taste very good! Rhubarb pie is good too!
Mom grows the rhubarb in their garden. My brother's children and the neighborhood kids love to eat the stalks raw. I tried it, but it is SO sour! We make sure we tell them not to eat the leaves.
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday. I will enjoy having tomorrow off for Veterans Day. :)
Love,
Melanie♥
Hi, Melanie, we love homemade jam! I am going to bookmark this recipe for next year. :)
I was so bummed after the election. Thank you for the verses.
Have a great week.

Hi, Vicki,
So nice to hear from you! I hope you all are doing well. :-)
I hope you'll like the recipe. It's always been one of my favorites.
I was bummed too...so thankful God is in charge. He will straighten everything out. Hope you have a great week!
Thanks for posting this, Melanie. :-)
You're very welcome. I hope you enjoy it! :-)
I love your new fall blog design :) The jam looks delicious. I don't think I've ever had rhubard but think I would like it ;)
So nice of your mom to share. Homemade is always best.
You probably won't believe this, but I've never eaten rhubarb! I have no idea what it tastes like but always see it paired with strawberries. :)
Sounds yummy! Great post.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi Mrs. Maxey,
Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving. My aunt makes a lot of jams, especially around Christmas time and gives them out to the family as gifts (and sugar cookies also...which seem to disappear rather quickly around our home! :) ).
Hope y'all have a great weekend!
Josh
Hi, Josh~
We've been at my parents' house since Tuesday. We're getting ready to go home now. It's snow flurrying, but I don't think it's supposed to do much more than that. I hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving. :)
Sugar cookies are popular at our house too! Katie and I like to make them. They don't last long!
Hope you have a great weekend.
Hope You All Had A Very Happy Thanksgiving.
Gosh, people who can make jellies, preserves, and jams are like magicians to me!
