Got rhubarb???? Try making rhubarb relish.

Was looking up different relishes, found mention of rhubarb relish that sounds wonderful:


"rhubarb relish" extremely hard to find commercially but when homemade, is often paired with grilled chicken, turkey and cold roast beef. This relish is made from diced rhubarb, cinnamon, chopped onions (any variety), brown sugar, cider vinegar, cloves, allspice flavoring, and good old salt and pepper.

Sounds to me like anyone who is into preserves can make a few bucks on this, since it is so hard to find in stores.
Now I wish I did have rhubarb.....

12 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups sugar
1 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 2 hours or until mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Pour into jars. Refrigerate or freeze in covered containers. Yield: 4 pints.

Nutritional Facts 1/4 cup (prepared with 1/4 teaspoon salt) equals 13 calories, 0 fat (0 saturated fat), 0 cholesterol, 2 mg sodium, 3 g carbohydrate, 1 g fiber, 0 protein. Diabetic Exchanges: Free Food.
