Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try substituting the rhubarb with strawberries or peaches for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a less sweet marmalade, reduce the sugar to taste. Ensure the rhubarb is tender before adding Jell-O for the best consistency. If using gelatin instead of Jell-O, follow package instructions for amounts needed.
Serving Suggestions
Marmalade is delightful on toast or bagels, and it can also enhance yogurt or oatmeal. Try it as a topping for pancakes or waffles for a fruity twist. It pairs beautifully with Homemade Dog Shampoo if you're treating your furry friend too. Consider serving it alongside cheese for a savory-sweet appetizer.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover marmalade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. It can also be frozen for longer storage; just make sure to leave some space in the container for expansion. Thaw in the fridge before serving or use it straight from the freezer in recipes.
