Steps:
- In a large bowl, add the rhubarb and sugar; stir to coat evenly.
- Cover the bowl, and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next morning, place the rhubarb mixture and the strawberries, in a large kettle.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat just a bit, and gently boil for 15 minutes (stirring constantly).
- Add the crushed pineapple, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Turn off the stove, add the boxes of dry gelatin powder, and mix well.
- Transfer the jam to the sterilized glass jars, and cover the jars with the lids.
- Cool the jam to room temperature, before storing the jam in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Yields: 7-1/2 cups of preserves.
- 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.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh strawberries and rhubarb: The quality of your preserves will depend on the quality of your fruit. Make sure to use ripe, fresh strawberries and rhubarb that are free of blemishes.
- Prepare your fruit properly: Before you start making your preserves, you need to prepare your fruit. Wash the strawberries and rhubarb thoroughly, and then remove the stems and hulls from the strawberries and the leaves from the rhubarb.
- Use a large pot: You will need a large pot to make your preserves. This will give the fruit enough room to cook and will prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer: Once you have added all of the ingredients to the pot, bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer the preserves for the desired amount of time.
- Stir the preserves frequently: As the preserves cook, stir them frequently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot and to help them thicken.
- Test the preserves for doneness: To test the preserves for doneness, spoon a small amount of the preserves onto a cold plate. If the preserves wrinkle when you push your finger through them, they are done.
- Can the preserves: If you want to store your preserves for longer than a few weeks, you can can them. To can the preserves, follow the instructions in the recipe.
