Outstanding

This sharp, spicy-sweet chutney is good with duck, lamb, and pork—rich meats complemented by the punch of a sour, fruity condiment. You can also serve atop vegetable curry or with cream cheese and crackers as an appetizer. If you prefer a milder chutney, remove the seeds from the jalapeño.

Yield: 2 cups (serving size: 2 tablespoons)

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  packed brown sugar
  • 3  cups  finely chopped rhubarb (about 1 pound)
  • 1  cup  finely chopped onion
  • 1/2  cup  cider vinegar
  • 1/4  cup  balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4  cup  dried currants
  • 1  tablespoon  minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1  teaspoon  paprika
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  ground cardamom (optional)
  • 1/2  jalapeño pepper, minced

Preparation

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 35 minutes or until thick. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Delicious! Half a jalapeno pepper (with seeds) is just enough heat without being overpowering. The ginger-rhubarb combination is unique and refreshing. I'm sure we'll enjoy this with Brie or cream cheese and a baguette, but right now I can't stop spooning it straight out of the jar. Yum!06/13/08

I quite liked this tart chutney....the vinegars give it quite the zing. Instead of freezing, I canned the chutney. It gave me 6 half pint jars. I would serve this over a warmed brie cheese or cream cheese. I would do this one again06/07/08
