Growing up we always had an abundance of rhubarb from the garden. This was a way for my mom to use it up and treat us as well. Nice addition to ice cream, pound cake, or all by itself. You can substitute any berries for the strawberries.

RHUBARB RELISH



Rhubarb Relish image

This was a relish my mother used with meat dishes, and sometimes ate it on bread. My older half brother said my father insisted on relish or jelly with the supper meats. This one was easy for her to make, and tastes great with any meat. We had three large rhubarb plants so every spring this was made and bottled for the next...

Provided by Eva Beaton

Categories     Other Sauces

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 c rhubarb, chopped fine
4 c onions, chopped fine
2 c white pickling vinegar, other vinegar will result in possible spoilage
2 lb light brown sugar
1 tsp each of cinnamon and allspice, ground
1/2 tsp each of cloves and black pepper, ground

Steps:

  • 1. Chop and measure the rhubarb and onions into a jam kettle or large pot, add the sugar and spices and stir, while heating on medium heat. The rhubarb will slowly become very cooked and fall apart, and the mixture will need to be cooked down.
  • 2. The longest part of the whole thing is the cooking down of the relish, you need to stir almost constantly in a figure 8 motion to keep the relish from scotching, and it takes a while to before it thickens up.
  • 3. I never do this if I don't have a whole afternoon to devote to it, and a nice flat bottomed not too deep dutch oven is the best to use. I have only doubled it once as that took about 6 hours to get to thickened for bottling. The smaller kettle is better, I have a half sized jam kettle, which has a large flat bottom and it works better than a dutch oven, but its a long slow process.
  • 4. You can test consistency by dropping some of the relish onto a cold plate, when it holds it shape without running or pooling moisture around the blob, its thick enough to bottle. Place into jelly jars that have been sterilized an heated and top with lids and rings that have been kept hot. These don't need processing as I have never processed jams or jellies only used snap lids and rings and I have never had any go bad.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: For the best relish, use firm, tart rhubarb stalks that are deep red in color. Avoid stalks that are wilted or bruised.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and remove any leaves or blemishes. Cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Use a variety of spices: Rhubarb relish is a great way to experiment with different spices. Some common spices that pair well with rhubarb include cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking: Rhubarb relish can be made more or less sweet, depending on your personal preference. Add more or less sugar to the recipe as desired.
  • Can and store the relish properly: Properly canned and stored rhubarb relish can last for up to a year. Be sure to follow the canning instructions carefully to ensure that the relish is safe to eat.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add a tangy, sweet flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for grilled meats, fish, or vegetables, and it can also be used as a sandwich spread or dip. With its bright red color and unique flavor, rhubarb relish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
