  1. To prepare juice, puree rhubarb in small batches in a food processor or blender. Pour into jelly bag; squeeze to extract juice. Measure 4 cups (1 L) juice into a Dutch oven. Add sugar and mix well. Place over high heat and bring mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Immediately stir in Certo. Continue to stir over high heat until mixture returns to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim foam if necessary.
