Ingredients
- Rhubarb
- 2 cups, diced
- Pomegranate seeds
- 1 cup
- Red onion
- 1/2 cup, finely chopped
- Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
- Honey
- 1/4 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the diced rhubarb, pomegranate seeds, finely chopped red onion, grated fresh ginger, honey, lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is tender and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 15-20 minutes. The colors should meld beautifully, and the aroma will be inviting!
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let the relish cool completely in the saucepan.
- Transfer the cooled relish to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve as a condiment with grilled meats such as chicken or pork, or use as a topping for crackers or slices of crusty bread.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of balsamic vinegar during cooking.
- This relish can also be enjoyed as a salad dressing; simply thin it out with a bit of olive oil and use it to dress mixed greens.
