Pickled Rhubarb image

Easy-to-make and easy to use, use this super-versatile condiment on cheese plates or mix it with savory ingredients like chopped parsley, olive oil, and red-pepper flakes to make a relish for grilled steak or pork chops. It's also wonderful sliced and added to this green salad with roasted beets,

Yield Makes 1 Quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces rhubarb
1 1/4 cups distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 star-anise pod
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled

Steps:

  • Remove rhubarb peel in alternating 1/2-inch strips (creating stripes). Cut rhubarb into 4-by-3/4-inch pieces (if thick, halve or quarter lengthwise, then cut into 4-inch pieces).
  • In a saucepan, bring vinegar, sugar, 1/3 cup water, salt, peppercorns, and star anise to a boil. Fill a heatproof quart jar with rhubarb and garlic. Pour boiling liquid in to cover. Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours and up to 1 month.
