"RHUBARBECUE" HOMEMADE RHUBARB BARBECUE SAUCE



Number Of Ingredients 9

8 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
3 ½ cups brown sugar
1 ½ cups chopped raisins
½ cup chopped white onion
½ cup apple cider vinegar (5% acidity or substitute white vinegar)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground allspice

Steps:

  • Prepare your canner, jars and lids. Wash your jars and bands in hot, soapy water, rinse and bring to a simmer in your water bath canner to sterilize. Always use new lids for safe preserving.
  • Combine rhubarb, brown sugar, raisins, onion, vinegar, salt and spices in a large, stainless steel pot and bring to a boil on high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium/medium-high and boil gently, stirring frequently until ingredients break down and form into a thick sauce.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend sauce until smooth (or omit this part if you don't mind a few chunks of rhubarb and raisins in your sauce).
  • Ladle into hot Mason jars leaving ½-inch headspace at the top. Slide a knife around the inner "edge" of the jar to remove any air bubbles. Adjust headspace as needed. Wipe rims, place lids on top and screw bands on.
  • Place jars in canner and bring water to a boil. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes, then turn heat off, remove lid and let cool in your canner for another 5 minutes. Remove jars and allow to cool completely before storing.

RHUBARB BARBEQUE SAUCE



Rhubarb Barbeque Sauce image

Since my stepmother is allergic to tomatoes, I needed a good barbeque sauce that has no tomato. So here I am depending on the rhubarb to give me that tang. Makes a unique sauce. Add the liquid smoke flavoring if you aren't grilling with real smoke.

ROASTED RHUBARB, GARLIC, AND ONION BARBEQUE SAUCE



Roasted Rhubarb, Garlic, and Onion Barbeque Sauce image

I formulated this to use some of the excessive quantity of rhubarb from the garden, without having to bake yet another pie. It has a very tart, lemony flavor which complements pork particularly well. Should keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.
