Equipment

  • 7 eight-ounce canning jars

Ingredients

  • 4 cups rhubarb
  • 4 ½ cups pure cane sugar (divided)
  • 20 ounce can crushed pineapple (do not drain)
  • low sugar sure jell pectin (That's the pink box)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  • Clean the rhubarb and dice into small pieces. Measure exactly four cups and place it in a large heavy bottom stock pot. Add the can of crushed pineapple.
  • Measure the sugar adding ½ cup to a small bowl. Mix the pectin together with ½ cup sugar, mix to combine. Add the pectin mixture to the rhubarb and pineapple in the pan.
  • Place the pan over high heat. Stir constantly using a wooden spoon. Do not leave the stove, when I say stir constantly, you really need to! It can easily scorch if left unattended.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium to medium-high. Boil, stirring constantly for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, add the remaining sugar and cinnamon (if using). Return to a boil. Boil exactly one minute. After one minute, remove from heat.
  • Immediately ladle the jam into clean, sterlized jars. Clean off the rims of the jars after filling. Add the lid and screw on the rings. Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to sit at room temperature until completely cooled and sealed.
  • This fills 7 half pint jars. Store sealed jars in your pantry. Opened jars or jars that did not seal should be stored in the refrigerator.
