This tangy sweet spread is "jam-packed" with lots of cherry flavor, plus a hint of rhubarb. My mother gives jars of it to friends during rhubarb season—it's so delicious on toast and muffins. —Faye Sampson, Radcliffe, Iowa

My grandchildren absolutely loved this.

I may add an additional cup of rhubarb next time or decrease the sugar by 1/2 C. With the sweet in the jello and the pie filling, I think less sugar would not be missed!

Everyone who eats this raves about how yummy it is! I processed in jelly jars in a water bath for 10 min. for easier storage. Gave to my daughter's preschool teachers for teacher appreciation week and they all went nuts! This will definitely become a regular jam recipe!

On my second batch today. I'm going to take some to my relatives in CA. I really love the taste and the recipe is so easy!

I have used this recipe for years. I like to chop the cherries slightly in food processor so they spread throughout the jam.

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!!
