Ingredients
- 6 cups rhubarb
- 1 cup onion, finely chopped
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Wash the rhubarb thoroughly and trim off the ends. Chop it into small, uniform pieces, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped rhubarb, finely chopped onion, granulated sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
Step 3
Place the pot over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
Step 4
Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt to the pot. Stir well to incorporate the spices evenly.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. The mixture should thicken and the rhubarb should break down completely.
Step 6
Taste the relish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you'd like a smoother consistency, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to break down any larger pieces.
Step 7
Once the relish has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 8
Transfer the relish into sterilized jars if you plan to store it long-term, or into a resealable container for immediate use. Allow it to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating.
Step 9
Serve the rhubarb relish chilled or at room temperature as a condiment for roasted meats, sandwiches, or with cheese and crackers.
