Steps:

Make the chutney earlier in the day or the day before.
Place the rhubarb in a colander over a bowl and sprinkle with the sugar.
let the rhubarb macerate and drain for 1/2 hour.
In a skillet cook the honey, cherries, vinegar, wine, mustard seeds, salt and spices over medium heat until syrupy.
Stir in the onion and cook for 2 minutes to soften.
Add the rhubarb and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to cook evenly.
when done it should be tender, but still have some texture.
Don't over cook.
Add the orange zest and jalapeno pepper, and cook for 1 minute longer.
Stir in the lime juice, remove from the pan and let cool.
Serve either at room temperature or chilled.
To grill the onions, cut the onion into 4 1/2 inch thick slices.
Brush with oil and season with salt and paprika.
Grill over direct medium heat until tender, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.
Remove from grill and keep warm.
For the burgers, in a medium bowl, combine all burger ingredients and mix well.
Form into four patties, each about 3/4 inch thick.
Grill over direct medium heat until juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 170*F, 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.
Place burgers on buns (we like the buns toasted), top with the grilled onions and the Rhubarb and Cherry Chutney.
Enjoy!
