I just found a rhubarb and date chutney recipe. Is it the same one?
Ingredients
50g fresh root ginger , grated
300ml red wine vinegar
500g eating apples , peeled and finely chopped
200g pitted dates , chopped
200g dried cranberries or raisins
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp curry powder
400g light muscovado sugar
700g rhubarb , sliced into 2cm chunks
500g red onions
Put the onions in a large pan with the ginger and vinegar. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the rhubarb, plus 2 tsp salt to the pan and bring to the boil, stirring. Simmer, uncovered, for about 10 mins until the apples are tender.
Stir in the rhubarb and cook, uncovered, until the chutney is thick and jammy, about 15-20 mins. Leave the chutney to sit for about 10-15 mins, then spoon into warm, clean jars, and seal. Label the jars when cool. Keep for at least a month before eating. |

I came up with this idea last year, still not tried it. I think I'll call it rhubarb lasagna.
It's a pudding built up in layers of stewed rhubarb, custard and pancakes. Rhubarb on the bottom, then custard, then pancake, repeat till full. Stew the rhubarb with sugar, ginger and cinnamon.
Top it off with custard sprinkled with brown sugar and cinamon, bake till sugar is browned & everthing is inter-mingled a bit.
I've got a sneaky feeling this would be rhubarb bliss!

I am thining about following this recipie for rhubarb wine. It looks really easy and simple.
just one problem. I do not own a hydrometer, and I dont really plan on doing any more brewing in the future. can I use something else instead, or should I find a different recipie |
This recipe uses a hydrometer to stop the fermentation just before it totally finishes fermenting. Its better practise to let your wine ferment out totally, rack it, put an air lock in and let it clear totally, rack again (add camden tab), mature in demijohn then bottle. If its to dry, add a little potasium sorbate along with a campden tablet and then sweeten to taste prior to bottling. |
