Rhubarb and Spice Sauce.

Yield Makes Jars

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • To soften the shallots, boil in water for around 5 minutes. Drain once ready. Place the Rhubarb in the large pan with 150ml of the malt vinegar, shallots (drained), cayenne, cloves, salt and black pepper (ground). Bring this slowly to the boil with a few stirs, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for around an hour. after this hour is up place your jars in boiling water in the large pan and keep at a boil until needed.
  • Remove the cloves from the mixture with a fork and throw away. then you can puree the mixture in a food processor. Return the puree into a clean pan, mix in the sugar and the remaining vinegar and brandy, bring back to the boil, slowly. Stir regularly to dissolve all the sugar, this is very important. Stir in the Turmeric, mustard and ginger. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 30 minutes until lovely and thick, it may take longer or even less, just keep patient and stay with it. It needs to remain a consistency that is easily poured, bare this in mind.
  • Remove from the heat once ready and allow to cool slightly. Spoon into the hot jars and seal. Place back in the water and boil for 10 - 15 minutes. This is important if it is not going to be used straight away or quickly. Especially if being made for gifts.
  • Is great with cold meats or in luxury sandwiches with thick wholemeal bread. My Dad who grows his own rhubarb asked me to make something with his excess, (only so much rhubarb crumble we could eat) My grandma used to make this sauce with me years ago, but i have added the spices and brandy. Before it was too sweet for meats but too vinegary for puddings, however you do not have to use a whole teaspoon of cayenne pepper if you would prefer it to be slightly milder. This can be difficult to make if you are not patient, but is really worth the wait and work. Nothing beats a homemade Sauce.

RHUBARB SAUCE WITH ZEST



Rhubarb Sauce With Zest image

I love rhubarb sauce but this recipe is so much better then the plain sauce I'm use to. I hijacked this recipe from Dreamer in Ontario. It is the filling from her Recipe #239834 recipe.

RHUBARB SAUCE



Rhubarb Sauce image

This jewel-bright rhubarb sauce has as many uses as a Swiss Army knife. Glossy and sweet-tart, it tastes fabulous in iced coffee, cocktails and other mixed drinks, and is especially welcome over vanilla ice cream. The optional vanilla bean adds musky warmth that extract does not, so skip it completely - don't substitute - if not using. With this recipe, you get two goodies: the sauce of course, and the strained fruit that remains, which is great draped over yogurt in the morning or spread onto a slice of buttered toast.

Categories     sauces and gravies

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 2 to 3 tablespoons juice (from 1 large lemon)
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a roasting pan or large, shallow Dutch oven, combine the rhubarb, sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla bean (if using) and 2 1/2 cups water. Using clean hands, gently move the rhubarb around to disperse the ingredients. Roast until the rhubarb softens, the sugar dissolves and the water is pink, about 1 hour.
  • Let the pan cool slightly before carefully straining the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl. You should have about 2 1/2 cups rhubarb syrup. Transfer the roasted rhubarb to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Pour the syrup back into the pan.
  • On the stovetop over high heat, bring the syrup to a boil, immediately reduce the heat to medium-high and continue boiling, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the syrup has reduced by a little more than half, 10 to 12 minutes. Watch carefully so that the hot syrup doesn't boil over the sides of the pan. (You should have about 1 cup sauce.)
  • Use the sauce immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This tastes so good over vanilla ice cream, stirred into a glass of iced water for something reminiscent of pink lemonade or iced coffee for a high note, mixed into a pan sauce for duck breasts, or drizzled over any kind of whipped cream, pavlova or Eton mess-style dessert. The strained fruit tastes wonderful over yogurt.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Select firm, brightly colored rhubarb stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have soft spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1-inch in length.
  • Use a variety of sweeteners: Rhubarb sauce can be sweetened with sugar, honey, maple syrup, or a combination of these. Adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste preference.
  • Add spices for extra flavor: Enhance the flavor of your rhubarb sauce by adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite blend.
  • Use a slow cooker for convenience: If you're short on time, make rhubarb sauce in a slow cooker. Simply combine the rhubarb, sugar, and spices in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb sauce is a versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many ways. Serve it over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yogurt. Use it as a filling for pies, tarts, and muffins. Or simply spread it on toast or crackers for a quick and easy snack. With its tangy-sweet flavor and vibrant color, rhubarb sauce is a delicious and delightful addition to any meal.
