Method

  1. Wash and rinse your jars and place upside down in a warm oven to dry and sterilise
  2. Wash the rhubarb and chop into pieces approximately 2.5cms or 1 inch long
  3. Put into a preserving pan with the spices, salt and sugar. Peel and chop the onions, and chop the dates and add these to the pan together with half of the vinegar
  4. Stir the contents of the pan to combine, and heat to bring up to the boil. Turn down the heat to simmer and cook gently for around 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking
  5. Add more vinegar during this time if required, if the rhubarb is very moist you may not need all of it
  6. Fill the jars right to the top and seal immediately. Leave to cool and then store for 4-6 weeks to allow the chutney to mature
