Instructions

  • Prepare a boiling water canner, half pint jars, and lids.
  • In a large saucepan combine pineapple, strawberries, rhubarb, raisins, and lemon juice. Whisk in the pectin until it has dissolved. Bring it to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently.
  • Add the sugar all at once and return to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the nuts.
