CHERRY, RHUBARB, RASPBERRY FREEZER JAM
I have always wanted to make jam out of my rhubarb, but did not want it to sweet or to sour..and I love cherries so I went to the cupboard and revamped a recipe that I had. This may be a little on the sweet side but not enough to mask the flavor of the rhubarb and having the cherry mingled in there was the part that put it over...

Tips:

- Use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the jam. This will help you avoid undercooking or overcooking it.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the jam by placing a small amount on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
- Let the jam cool slightly before pouring it into jars. This will help prevent the jars from cracking.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
