Categories     Rhubarb     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound (453g) ripe rhubarb
Generous 1/2 cup (125g) sherry vinegar (see Note)
Generous 1/2 cup (125g) rice vinegar (see Note)
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon (315g) honey
3 tablespoons (45g) grenadine
1 tablespoon (12g) coarse salt
2 star anise

Steps:

  • Peel the rhubarb and cut it into neat batons about 1 1/2 inches long and 1/3 inch wide. Place in a flat-bottomed casserole.
  • Put the vinegars, honey, grenadine, salt, and star anise in a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Turn off the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Pour over the rhubarb and cover with plastic wrap. Let cool to room temperature. Taste the pickles for texture. If they're too crisp for your taste, drain the liquid into a clean saucepan, bring it back to a simmer, let it cool for a few minutes, then pour it over the rhubarb again-with the star anise.
  • Store in the refrigerator in the liquid. Serve cold.
