RHUBARB JAM
3 cups (1½ lbs.) prepared fruit
5 cups (2¼ lbs.) sugar
½ bottle Certo
To prepare fruit, slice fine or chop about 2 pounds rhubarb. Do not peel. Red-stalked rhubarb gives the best color. Add 1 cup sugar; let stand 15 minutes. This cup of sugar is in addition to the 5 cups specified above. If desired, add 1 teaspoon ginger. Red coloring may be added, use coloring which fruit acids do not fade. Measure sugar into large kettle, then prepared fruit, solidly packed, filling up each cup with water. Mix well and bring to a full rolling boil over hottest fire. Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard 1 minute. Remove from fire and stir in Certo. Stir and skim for 5 minutes. Pour quickly. Paraffin at once. Makes about 8 glasses (6 fluid ounces each).
