Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups rhubarb chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 package cherry Jello 3 oz
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • Optional whipped cream for serving

Method
 

  1. Simmer rhubarb, sugar, and water in a saucepan until soft, about 8–10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, dissolve cherry Jello in boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved.
  3. Let rhubarb mixture cool slightly until warm, not hot.
  4. Combine rhubarb mixture with dissolved Jello and stir gently.
  5. Pour into a serving dish and refrigerate until fully set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Do not mix hot rhubarb directly into Jello or it may not set properly. Drain frozen rhubarb well if using. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
