Thank you! I was going to ask you about the recipe after I saw it mentioned in your dinner post yesterday.

CWS, could I "can" this pickle as well for a longer shelf life?
Rhubarb is in season here and I would love to make this for my Mother, she loves Rhubarb... the problem for me is I won't see her probably until October.

Also, this sounds like alot of ingredients to fit in a pint sized jar .... does it make multiple jars?

There is only 1 c liquid. The onion was a medium sized one. It fit in a pint jar. You could open water bath process it. I'd do it like bread and butter pickles.

I didn't have a recipe, Dawg, but did write it down as I went. I noodled the idea of a quick pickle with rhubarb for a couple of days. No honey or maple syrup, you could use brown sugar.

COOL!
I'm going to give this a try CWS, I have all of the ingredients, other than the fresh Rhubarb, mahalo, thanks!
Hmmm, if I left out the Onion and used all Rhubarb, what do you think, 3-4 stalks per pint?

Since there's one cup of liquid, and a pint is two cups, use one cup of diced rhubarb.

I would double-check with an approved canning recipe to make sure the pH level is low enough to be safe before canning it.

GG, what about this recipe to get it all going, but use the spices that CWS mentions, I think Mom will like that combo...

A friend makes rhubarb pickle. I will ask how long she processes the jars.

Depends on the size of the stalks!

I took some and wrapped it in foil and tossed it on the grill with the chicken.

This was a savory way to use rhubarb since I don't like it in desserts (except rhubarb ice cream).

Rhubarb Ice Cream? recipe please?
Ice cream is my Mom's kryptonite, so much so that I asked for an Ice Cream Maker for my Birthday!

We're at almost 4700 feet above Sea Level, I was reading on the Ball site 25 minutes ... at least for Bread and Butter Pickles, with a 1/2 inch head ...

That would be perfect. Marisa is well-known for using meticulous canning methods and her recipes reflect that. (I have three of her books ).

My concern was with the rice vinegar - I don't think it's as acidic as distilled white and apple cider vinegars. I just checked the bottle in my pantry and rice vinegar is diluted to 4.2 percent while the others are 5 percent. So I would skip the rice vinegar for canning purposes.

I plan on canning some rhubarb stalks this week. Need lids. I also will follow a TNT brine ratio for canning, but my spice blend....

I did make a batch of pickled rhubarb a couple of weeks ago. Gonna open a jar today.
