Cook rhubarb in water until tender. Add sugar and cook a few minutes longer, stirring constantly. Add pie filling and cook 6-8 minutes more. Remove from heat and add gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved. Pour into jars and seal. Store in refrigerator or freezer.

A delicious way to use up excess rhubarb at this time of the year!

In a stainless steel pan, put the 5 cups of sliced rhubarb plus 3 cups sugar and mix slightly. Let this sit overnight. In the morning, add the package of strawberry jello, mix well, and put on the stove allowing the mixture to come to a soft boil. Boil for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Do not boil hard!
