Rhubarb Gelatin Salad

Directions

Ingredients :

3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb

½ cup white sugar

or to taste

2 tablespoons water

1 (3 ounce) package raspberry flavored Jell-O® mix

1 cup cold water

1 cup chopped apple

½ cup chopped walnuts

Methods :

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the rhubarb, sugar, and 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until rhubarb is mushy. Mix well to form a sauce. Taste, and adjust sugar if needed. Reserve 1 cup. Save any extra for other uses.

In a medium bowl, stir together the raspberry flavored gelatin and 1 cup of the boiling hot rhubarb mixture until completely dissolved. Stir in 1 cup cold water, then mix in the apples and walnuts.
