OK, my rhubarb plant is going NUTS! It is HUGE. So, I am considering making a big pile of stewed rhubarb and putting it up. Has anyone ever done this? I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be safe. There isn't much sugar in it and rhubarb is an acidic sort of thing. If I make sure to put the stuff into hot jars while it is still hot and let the lids seal themselves I think it should be OK. Any thoughts here? I can't find any info on doing this so I may have to experiment.
Stewed Rhubarb
Fresh diced rhubarb (4-6 cups)
1 cup of sugar
Put this in a non reactive pot (I use Visions) and set it on simmer until the rhubarb can be mushed with a spoon. You can blend this to make it smooth if you like but I like mine sort of chunky.
