A great alternative for tomato ketchup. Sweet, tart, and slightly acidic, it goes well over meats and fish or as a dip for fries. This alternative ketchup is easy to make. For most of the preparation time, the mixture is simply steeping.

Categories     Spreads

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 c rhubarb, fresh or frozen, washed, ends removed, and cut in 1/2" dice (weight after dicing about 1 pound)
1 c sugar
1 medium orange or two mandarin oranges
1/3 c port wine or sweet sherry
1/4 c red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp chinese chile oil or other hot condiment to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Combine diced rhubarb and sugar in a non-reactive saucepan.
  • 2. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the orange in as few large pieces as possible so it can be easily removed from the mix before blending. Alternatively, put small pieces of zest in a tea ball or bundle in cheesecloth to enable their later removal from the mixture.
  • 3. Add the zest to the saucepan. Squeeze the juice of the orange(s) into the saucepan. Add the wine and vinegar.
  • 4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring to mix the ingredients and distribute the flavor of the zest. Boil and stir for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to steep 30 minutes.
  • 5. Return the mixture to a slow boil and cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring to mix the flavors and break up much of the rhubarb. The mixture will appear lumpy and stringy at this point. Set aside to cool a second 30 minutes.
  • 6. Remove the zest from the mixture. Move the mixture to a blender. Add the salt and chili oil. Blend until smooth.
  • 7. Serve still warm or cool. Store in the refrigerator or freeze. Freezes well, allow to thaw in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • To make the most of the rhubarb's flavor, choose stalks that are firm and brightly colored.
  • For a sweeter ketchup, use more sugar. For a tangier ketchup, use less sugar.
  • If you don't have time to peel the rhubarb, simply wash it well and trim the ends.
  • You can use a food processor or a blender to chop the rhubarb. If you use a blender, be sure to use the pulse setting to avoid over-processing.
  • Cook the ketchup over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning.
  • Let the ketchup cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb ketchup is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on a variety of foods. It's perfect for burgers, hot dogs, fries, and even ice cream. So next time you have a bunch of rhubarb, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
