I made this for the first time in June 2006 and have made it just about every June since! It works with sugar free jell-o, and I've also used a combination of cut up strawberries and rhubarb, or even blueberries and rhubarb.
Got this cooling on top of the stove and I had to sneak a taste. WOW! I've never made anything with rhubarb before, but my dear FIL gave us some to try. Very, very good!
