📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare canning jars, lids, and heat a water bath canner.
2
Wash rhubarb and peel if desired. Remove the tops and bottoms of the stalks and discard any leaves. Chop rhubarb stalks into ½ inch to 1 inch pieces.
3
Mix the rhubarb and sugar and allow it to macerate for at least an hour (or overnight) to release it's juices.

4
Whisk the clear gel into the measured cold water (or juice) called for in the recipe. Make sure it's completely dissolved, then set aside.
5
Add the macerated rhubarb to a large stock pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
6
Next, add in the dissolved clear gel and water mixture and cook until thickened.
7
When the mixture has thickened and begun bubbling, add the lemon juice and boil for one minute more.
8
Remove from heat and quickly ladle in prepared canning jars, leaving 1 inch headspace. Be sure to de-bubble the thick liquid as well.
9
Wipe rims to ensure a tight seal and apply 2-part canning lids, twisting until fingertight. Process in a water bath canner for ⏱️ 30 minutes, increasing time as needed for altitude.
10
After the processing time is complete, turn off the water bath canner and allow jars to rest for another ⏱️ 10 minutes to reduce the chances of siphoning.
11
Remove with the aid of a jar lifter and place atop a towel-covered surface to cool. Check seals after 12 to ⏱️ 24 hours. Any unsealed pie fillings should be moved to the refrigerator to be used first.
12
Store properly sealed jars in a cool dark location. Refrigerate after opening. Jars of rhubarb pie filling will maintain peak quality for 12 months when properly canned and stored.
