James Whelan Butchers: Rhubarb Chutney

This is the recipe I use that has a little kick to it, but I’m sure there are many variations that work just as well

Ingredients

  • 2lbs/900g Rhubarb washed and cut into chunks
  • 2lbs/900g Sugar
  • 1lb/450g Sultanas
  • 1 pint Vinegar
  • 1 oz/25g Salt
  • 1 oz/25g powdered Ginger
  • 1 Onion – finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ordinary Pepper

To Cook

Put all the ingredients into a pot. Bring it all to the boil. Reduct heat.
Let it bubble away until thick and dark brown (about 1 hour). Stir now and then.
(Do not let it burn at the bottom)
Pour into clean sterilised jars, put the lid on, let cool and store.
It should keep in a cool dark place for several months.
