Our rhubarb plants are huge this year - it's amazing. Took them a few years to get going but now they have settled in and I'm impressed with them! Enough to make chutney (although this was combined with some from our veg bag). I wanted something savoury and rhubarb-y. Perhaps I should try some kind of sweet pickle as well? Anyway, here is rhubarb chutney - from this recipe, which sounded like exactly what I wanted to try.
2 lb / 907 g rhubarb, trimmed and cut into chunks
1 lb / 454 g onions, roughly chopped
4 oz / 113 g chopped dates (or raisins or sultanas)
2/5 pint / 227 ml white wine vinegar
2/5 pint / 227 ml water
1 lb / 454 g turbinado sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
Combine all ingredients in a big pan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and jammy (wooden spoon should leave a trail). Put into sterile jars and store 6-8 weeks before using.
