Ingredients

8 quarts diced fresh rhubarb
1 cup white sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
8 whole cloves
1 (3 ounce) package red Jell-O® dessert mix
0.25 cup honey, warmed

Instructions

Combine rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice, and cloves in a large stockpot. Cook over low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens, releases its juices, and begins to break apart, approximately 10 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium and bring the rhubarb mixture to a full rolling boil. Stir in the gelatin mix until completely dissolved.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, then sweeten with honey to taste.
