How To Make strawberry rhubarb preserves

• Step 1
  In a large bowl, add the rhubarb and sugar; stir to coat evenly.
• Step 2
  Cover the bowl, and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
• Step 3
  The next morning, place the rhubarb mixture and the strawberries, in a large kettle.
• Step 4
  Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat just a bit, and gently boil for 15 minutes (stirring constantly).
• Step 5
  Add the crushed pineapple, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Step 6
  Turn off the stove, add the boxes of dry gelatin powder, and mix well.
• Step 7
  Transfer the jam to the sterilized glass jars, and cover the jars with the lids.
• Step 8
  Cool the jam to room temperature, before storing it in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Step 9
  Note: If using store bought frozen sweetened strawberries, you may want to decrease the amount of sugar to 3-1/2 cups. I however, used strawberries which I prepared myself and had froze them. They're not as sweet as the store bought, so the 4 cups of sugar I added, was the right amount to add to this recipe.
