Serves 8

Ingredients

Rhubarb stalks
4 cups, sliced
White vinegar
2 cups
Water
1 cup
Granulated sugar
1 cup
Salt
2 teaspoons
Whole cloves
6
Black peppercorns
1 tablespoon
Cinnamon stick
1

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, salt, whole cloves, black peppercorns, and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add the sliced rhubarb to the saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the rhubarb is slightly tender but still holds its shape.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, letting the flavors meld.
  4. Carefully transfer the rhubarb and pickling liquid into a sterilized jar or container. Ensure that the rhubarb is fully submerged in the liquid.
  5. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
  6. The tangy rhubarb pickles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, making them a perfect make-ahead condiment.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider infusing the pickling liquid with additional spices such as star anise or ginger.
  • 💡 You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar according to your taste preference.
  • 💡 These pickles pair wonderfully with roasted meats, cheese platters, or as a topping for tacos.
