Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (chopped) rhubarb stalks
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup (finely chopped) red onion
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup golden raisins
Instructions
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces measuring about 1/2-inch each.
Peel and finely chop the red onion to measure 1 cup.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, brown sugar, and finely chopped onion.
Add the apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt to the mixture.
Stir the mixture well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the rhubarb is soft and the relish has thickened to your desired consistency.
Stir in the golden raisins and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
Transfer the relish to sterilized glass jars for storage or serve immediately as desired.
