Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cup(s) rhubarb, chopped
3/4 cup(s) water
2-3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 large onion, chopped fine
5-6 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 - 12 ounce(s) can tomato paste, plus one can water or a little more if to thick
1/2 cup(s) apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup(s) worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoon(s) mustard, spicy brown
1 cup(s) brown sugar
1 cup(s) dark corn syrup
3 tablespoon(s) ground ancho chili pepper, or to taste

Steps:

In a large 3 qt saucepan, bring rhubarb and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 5-6 minutes or until tender and mushy, pour into a bowl, mush it up with a fork until there are no chunks, set aside.
In same large saucepan, add oil and when hot add onion, cook until onion is translucent. Add remaining ingredients including rhubarb. Over medium heat, bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally...it will thicken as it cools.
At this point you may can jars of sauce if you want or just put in large container (or several small) and store in refrigerator. Makes 2 quarts approx. I like to can 4 - ½ pint jars and place the rest into a quart jar for immediate use. The ½ pint jars are great for gift giving. You can easily half this recipe too! :o)
