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

Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 package (3 ounces) cherry gelatin

  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract, optional

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb and sugar; let stand for 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
