    I have lots of rhubarb cake recipes but it also makes excellent chutney.  Very good with sausages and in sandwiches:-

    Rhubarb Chutney

     2 lbs         rhubarb in 1" chunks

    8 oz          onion, chopped

    1.5 lbs      brown sugar

    8 oz          raisins

    1/2 oz       mustard seeds

    1 tsp        pepper

    1 tsp        mixed spice

    1 tsp        ginger

    1 tsp        salt

    20 fl oz     vinegar

    Combine the lot in a large pan and cook till thick, with no excess liquid.  Transfer to warm jars and cover.   Leave to mature a few weeks before eating.

    Hi Rebecca,

    i just chop it up into cubes and put in the freezer.  Then when I fancy some I poor some out into a dish, add a spoon or two of sugar and microwave until bubbling.  If summer, add yoghurt.  If winter add custard.  Super speedy yummy desert.  No effort at any time! image  Can also use it once cooled a little to turn plain yoghurt a into rubbarb  yoghurt.

    I love it like that for breakfast, sometimes with a sprinkling of granola or muesli too.
