Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups rhubarb (175g)
1/4 cup onion (approx 1/4 onion, or 1 shallot)
1 tsp fresh ginger ((finely diced volume))
1/4 cup sugar (4 tbsp)
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 orange zest (ie from 1/2 orange)
3 tbsp orange juice ((approx 1/2 orange))
2 tbsp raisins (or dried tart cherries)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice

Steps:

  • Cut the rhubarb into approx 1/3-1/2 inch slices. Finely dice the onion and mince the ginger.
  • Put everything in a wide non-reactive pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer for around 10 minutes until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally (but taking care not to break up all the chunks). The liquid should not immediately close in behind the spatula when you move it through the mixture.
  • Set aside to cool. Store on the refrigerator for a day or two until needed, bringing to room temperature to use.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: For the best chutney, use fresh, young rhubarb stalks that are firm and crisp. Avoid stalks that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Cut the rhubarb stalks into small pieces, about 1/2-inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Use a variety of spices: Chutney is all about the spices! Experiment with different combinations to find your perfect blend. Some popular spices for rhubarb chutney include ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • Don't overcook the chutney: Chutney should be cooked until the rhubarb is soft and the spices are well-blended, but it shouldn't be overcooked. Otherwise, the chutney will lose its vibrant color and flavor.
  • Store the chutney properly: Once the chutney is made, it can be stored in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Make sure to seal the jar tightly to prevent spoilage.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for adding a sweet and tangy flavor to sandwiches, wraps, and salads. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken or fish, or as a dipping sauce for appetizers. With its vibrant color and unique flavor, rhubarb chutney is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. So next time you have a bunch of rhubarb, give this chutney a try!
