Jelly/jam recipe?

[JJsMom]

My MIL has a ton of rhubarb and I'd like to make some jam or jelly, but I'd like to use as little sugar as possible and I'd rather not use jell-o to firm it up, any ideas? Thanks!

You could check out the low-sugar pectin in the baking aisle. (I've never used jello for jams...) You want to be careful on substitutions like equal or splenda, unless the recipe calls for it. Low sugar Rhubarb is going to be on the tart side...

You may want to check out http://www.rhubarbinfo.com/ - this has everything you ever wanted to know about rhubarb, including some great recipes for both fresh and frozen rhubarb.

wow I have never heard of using jello in jam! :eek I understand about the sugar though... I have also been trying to find no/low sugar jam recipes for next year :)

How about low sugar pectin and just follow the recipe on the box. Might need to check if it will work w/rhubarb since it's so acidic
