I had frozen some fresh rhubarb earlier, which I used in this recipe. I measured the rhubarb, then thawed, and gently squeezed any excess liquid. Easy recipe that got rave reviews, such as, "Fantastic" and "Awesome". I also froze some jam to see if it would taste the same, have the same consistency, etc. and it worked out great! Will be giving as gifts throughout the year, including Christmas time.

My family is addicted to this!! We eat it on ice cream--sometimes my daughter just eats a bowl of it for dessert!

I made this recipe substituting strawberry jello and strawberry pie filling, no extra flavoring. It was great!!
