Steps:

• Mix the first 3 ingredients in a large pan (you don't need water!). When it boils, start a time minder for 12 minute Let boil for the whole time, although you might need to turn it down so it doesn't boil over. Keep stiring so there is no scorching. Turn off heat and add jello.
• I like to run through a blender b/c I don't like it chunky style, but its a personal preferenc. Can. I fill mainly to top, put the flat part of the lid in a small ammount of boiling water and lift it out with tongs. I then put the lids on and that works for me.

Steps:

• Bring rhubarb, raspberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, and salt to a boil in a heavy pot, stirring often. Cook, continuing to stir often, until bubbles slow, foam subsides, fruit rises to the top, and jam sticks to a wooden or metal spoon when lifted from mixture, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Let cool completely, about 2 hours. Refrigerate in an airtight container until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month, or freeze up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Slice the strawberries and rhubarb if using fresh fruit. Set aside.
• Mash and cook raspberries till they're soft and juicy. Strain through several layers of cheesecloth. Twist into a ball and SQUEEZE to get all the juice. Scrape the outside to get all the pulp. You don't need clear juice since this is jam. Skip this step if you don't mind the seeds.
• Put the strawberries, rhubarb, raspberries or strained juice and sugar in at least a 5 qt pan. Add water if needed to prevent scorching.
• Bring to a gentle simmer and cook to 220F on a candy/jelly thermometer or test for jelly by putting a couple of tablespoons on a saucer and letting it cool. Stir frequently.
• Ladle into hot canning jars. Cover with hot lids and bands.
• Process in a water bath for 20 minutes.
• Remove and allow to cool. Listen for the "pops".

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
• Crush raspberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Finely chop unpeeled rhubarb. Combine fruits; measure exactly 5 cups prepared fruit mixture into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.
• Stir pectin into prepared fruit mixture in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
