Rhubarb Cherry Freezer Jam

   I love all Jellies and Jams! I love the feeling of reaching into my freezer or cupboard and pulling out a jar of delicious jelly to share with my family or friends. I make strawberry jelly for the rest of my family, but sadly I am allergic to those beautiful little berries. So... My sister being the sweet heart that she is found this recipe for rhubarb (which I love) and made it for me a couple of years back. It is AMAZING! In fact, those in my family that can eat the strawberry jam started eating the "Mom Only" jam because it is just that good. My husband has a real disgust for rhubarb and had called it affectionately "mutant celery", but he is in LOVE with this jelly, so try it and don't let the name scare you.
