Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the rhubarb, sugar and lemon juice in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer and add the remaining ingredients.

  2. Step 2

    Continue to simmer 20 minutes or so, until the rhubarb is tender but still holds its shape.

  3. Step 3

    The chutney will keep for many months in the refrigerator. For pantry storage, transfer the mixture to sterilized jars, seal with sterilized lids and process five minutes in a boiling water bath, or alternatively, place the hot mixture in freshly sterilized jars, seal the jars with sterilized lids and invert the jars on the countertop for five minutes. (This is a new method that has proved safe.)

I've used this recipe with cranberries and chopped orange for years. I also add some chopped jalapenos. I freeze it in canning jars to preserve the bright color, as regular canning darkens the mixture.

Dom

A bit less sugar and ginger

Cheryl

Fabulous! Decrease sugar by 1/3-1/2; Granny Smiths; Bragg’s vinegar.

Jess

Has anyone used medium ripe mangos instead of the apple? Maybe I would add more lemon and reduce the sugar?

Cmon

Phenomenal! Followed suggestions of 1/2ing the sugar and ginger and adding a pinch of cayenne. Great use of apples that have lost their crunch. Started w apples instead of rhubarb and followed everything else. Cooked in less than 3 minutes. Looking forward to serving this w grilled pork medallions and sending our guests home w 1/2 pint jars of rhubarb chutney to enjoy on their own.
