Dad has a patch but he wont want more than a few stalks stewed. Ick.

I much prefer a savoury dish...

Rhubarb Chutney Recipe Taste of Home.htm

(Dunno if that link works.)

It comes out brown but I used white instead of red onions, and no food colouring. (Seriously, who puts food colouring in chutney??)

This is not a huge recipe, it took six stalks and made two and a half jars (Just as well, Dad does not posess a jam panor huge pot).

Dunno how it will turn out but it smells enticing.

And there are still a few stalks n the patch for stewing....
 
I built a batch of Major Grey's Mango Chutney from a Guardian recipe.
It's the big ingredient in Plum Sauce which takes 12-18 months to mellow.

The whole concept of a rhubarb chutney is exactly what I'd like to try next.
Sure as hell, if it ever quits snowing, I might get to it in 4-6 weeks.

In the mean time, here's an interesting list:

Rhubarb is lovely in scones. Surprised me, but Sandra's recipes are all sound :)



It's also a really tasty jam. Rhubarb and ginger is a family favourite, and rhubarb and strawberry is another. Himself's Aunt taught me to make the latter, they grew all their own fruit and veg and Jean was a dab hand at getting the best from all of it.
 
Oh, tempting.

But I generally make chutney from whatever I find around. Its a grand way to make use of free ingredients, it stores well, (is improved by storage) and it tastes good.

Plus it makes a desirable present.
