Re: tried and tested rhubarb suggestions
Although I like things like rhubarb and blueberries, the amount of sugar needed is I find somewhat daunting. However, rhubarb fool with either crushed ginger nuts on top or a Jamaica ginger cake slice under is good, but won't make much of a dent in 1.5kg!
Question: Can rhubarb be simmered like stock? I.e. to drink the strained juice and chuck the "used" fibrous remainder? I.e. would the juice still have nutrition?
Or maybe rhubarb, orange juice, carrot, ginger smoothies?

The jam aspect is more about time (and my tencency to ruin jam... so not something I enjoy doing.) I don't eat much jam, tbh but I do like it.
I don't drink so the gin isn't an opton. I like the idea though. Back in the day...

Thanks. That would be great.
Re: tried and tested rhubarb suggestions

Re: tried and tested rhubarb suggestions
Here we go, Herbi.
Rhubarb Chutney
800 gms rhubarb
120 gms onion
20 gms fresh ginger
375 gms sugar
160 gms white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp chile powder ( or more if you like)
1 tsp salt.
Just chop the rhubarb into 1-2" pieces. Dice the onion and grate the ginger, then put everything into a large pot. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium and cook until thick.
You may like it thicker, or thinner, so that will depend on how long you cook it. Usually it takes about 25-30 minutes .

Thank you!
Re: tried and tested rhubarb suggestions
KKA - that's sounds good - I'm going to have a go at it.
A couple of questions, if I may :
If it's put into sterilised jars, what's the shelf life?
How much does it make?
Are the cloves whole or ground?
Thanks in anticipation...!

Hi Pampy.
In sterilised jars, it lasts at least 18 months - and probably longer. In the cupboard; no need to put it in the fridge as long as the jars are well-sealed.
This recipe will make just over a kilo - so you´ll need about 5 200cc jars.
I use ground cloves - that way you don´t have to pick the whole ones out.

Re: tried and tested rhubarb suggestions
Yes I spotted those.
I have had too many desserts of late, but could do to make room in the freezer, and the frozen raw rhubarb is in my sights.

A repeat I know, but Nadya Hussein made rhubarb and custard ice-cream sandwiches with custard flavour shortbread on her tv series on Saturday ... they looked absolutely delicious
