sugar free rhubarb jam

I adapted this from the Little Yellow Wheel Barrow blog. I don't often use Splenda so only had packets, this also made it easy to adjust sweetness level. According to the blog if you are using the typical granular Splenda you will use about 1/2 cup, but I would suggest starting less and building. Also, I only had green rhubarb, so I added a little red coloring to make it more appealing. It has a nice tart zing, but is considerably healthier than traditional jam.
