SPICED RHUBARB



Spiced Rhubarb image

The recipe for Spiced Rhubarb's been in my family for years-it was handed down to me by my mother, who got it many decades ago from her mother. This dish is good either hot or cold...with a meal (it's delicious alongside pork or lamb) or just plain. I even like to spread it on my breakfast toast! As for me, I'm a country girl. I was born in the country, and I'm still here.

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.

Fried Rhubarb Ravioli With Spiced Strawberry Sauce image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pint strawberries, stemmed and cut in half, plus 12 strawberries, stemmed and cut lengthwise into quarters
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 bay leaf
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/2 pound rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon water
6 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
16 wonton skins
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water
Vegetable oil for deep-fat frying
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Place all the sauce ingredients except the 12 strawberries in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Take out the bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Puree in a food processor and strain through a fine sieve. Set aside.
  • Place the rhubarb, 1/2 cup of the sugar, water and orange juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook just until the rhubarb is soft, about 5 minutes. Drain well and place in a small bowl. Stir in the orange and lemon rinds and ricotta. Place the wonton skins on a work surface in a single layer and brush lightly with the egg mixture. Place a rounded tablespoon of the filling in the center of 8 of the wonton skins. Top with a second skin and press around the filling to the edges to make a tight seal. Place on a baking sheet and freeze while heating the oil.
  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large pot until it reaches 375 degrees. Carefully drop the ravioli in the oil and fry until golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon and coat the ravioli in the mixture. Place the strawberry sauce and reserved strawberries in a small saucepan and heat until warm. Spoon some of the sauce on each of 4 plates. Place 2 raviolis on each plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

CANADIAN SPICED RHUBARB AND ONION RELISH



Canadian Spiced Rhubarb and Onion Relish image

This is one of the most published rhubarb recipes since the early 1900s. Its spicy tang and the availability of quantities of rhubarb have made it a favourite of home preservers across the country.

Provided by Olha7397

Categories     Canadian

Time 1h30m

Yield 5 8 oz. jars

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups rhubarb, cut in 1/4 inch pieces
4 cups onions, finely chopped
2 cups cider vinegar
4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the ingredients in a preserving kettle. Stir well. Bring to the boil, stirring frequently, over high heat. Adjust the heat so that the relish bubbles moderately vigorously; stir frequently and remove any scum.
  • When the relish is a rich brown colour and has the smooth, thick consistency of jam, it is ready this happens after about 40 to 60 minutes.
  • Fill hot sterilized canning jars. Drop clean, new canning jar lids into boiling water and leave them there, off the heat, to allow the circle of sealing compound to soften. When filling each jar with jam, jelly or relish, leave a 1/8 inch headspace. Immediately screw the lid on tightly, then flip the jar over and back again. Set to cool on a rack. When the jam has cooled, check the seal to make sure the lid on the jar has concaved. If it has not, refrigerate the contents and use within a month.
  • Another method is--Pour jam or jelly or relish into hot, clean jars, leaving a ¼ inch headspace. Wipe the edge of the jar with a clean damp cloth. Set the jar lids, previously softened in boiling water as described above, on the jars and tighten. Set on a rack in a canner, sometimes called a boiling water bath. Fill with water to a level 1 inch above the top of the jars. Cover the canner, bring to the boil over high heat and boil hard for 15 minutes. Remove the jars, cool on a rack and check the seals. Yields five 8 oz. jars.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Fresh, bright red rhubarb stalks are best for making sauce. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Cut the rhubarb into small pieces: This will help the rhubarb cook more evenly.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe can be adjusted to taste. Some other spices that you could use include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: Overcooked rhubarb will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Let the sauce cool completely before refrigerating: This will help the sauce thicken up.

Conclusion:

Spiced rhubarb sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for topping pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yogurt. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and cakes. No matter how you choose to use it, spiced rhubarb sauce is sure to be a hit.
