Rhubarb chutney
Description
This Rhubarb chutney recipe starts with sliced rhubarb combined with finely diced onion and minced fresh ginger, along with sugar, apple cider vinegar, orange zest and juice, raisins, and warming spices like cinnamon and allspice. All ingredients simmer gently in a wide non-reactive pot for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to thicken while preserving some chunkiness. The chutney captures rhubarb's tartness balanced by the sweetness and acidity of other components, making it a flavorful condiment. After cooking, it should cool and then be refrigerated for a day or two to blend flavors before serving.
The chutney yields approximately three-quarters of a cup but the recipe can be scaled up by multiplying ingredient quantities. Larger batches may require longer simmering to reach the desired thickness.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rhubarb
- ¼ cup onion (¼ cup is approx ¼ onion, or 1 shallot)
- 1 teaspoon ginger finely diced volume, fresh
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ orange zest ie from ½ orange
- 3 tablespoon orange juice (3tbsp is approx ½ orange)
- 2 tablespoon raisins or dried tart cherries
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Cut the rhubarb into approx ⅓-1/2 inch slices. Finely dice the onion and mince the ginger.
- Put everything in a wide non-reactive pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer for around 10 minutes until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally (but taking care not to break up all the chunks). The liquid should not immediately close in behind the spatula when you move it through the mixture.
- Set aside to cool. Store on the refrigerator for a day or two until needed, bringing to room temperature to use.
Notes
- This recipe produces about three-quarters of a cup of chutney; quantities can be increased by scaling ingredients proportionally.
- When making larger batches, expect a longer simmering time to achieve proper thickness.
