Sweet Rhubarb Chutney

rhubarb chutney

This is taken from Bottling, Pickling and Preserving by Elizabeth Lambert Ortiz. For those who are familiar with Branston Pickle, this is not unlike a sweeter version of same.

The Veg:
  • 450g rhubarb
  • 350g onions
The Sweet Stuff:
  • 175g raisins
  • 775g brown sugar
The Pickle Liquid and Seasonings:
  • 480ml cider vinegar
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 0.5 tsp ground cloves
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
The Steps:
  • Trim and slice the rhubarb.
  • Peel and slice the onions.
  • Put the rhubarb and onions into a preserving pan, along with all of the remaining ingredients.
  • Stir over a low heat, with a wooden spoon, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring frequently, for about 2 hours or until the chutney has reduced and thickened.
  • Spoon into warmed, sterilised jars to within 3mm of the tops. Seal, label and keep in a cool dark place for one month before using.
The Results:
  • About 2.25kg of chutney
