Sweet and sour rhubarb
Rhubarb with a twist: Instead of the classic cake or compote, this recipe shows just how versatile this spring vegetable can be. When pickled in a sweet-and-sour brine, rhubarb develops an intriguing flavor that blends fruity freshness, subtle tartness, and a hint of spice—ideal as an accompaniment to cheese, grilled meats, or as a special side dish.

Step 1
Wash the rhubarb and peel off the skin. Cut the stalks into pieces just under 5 cm long, then cut these in half or into thirds lengthways. Place the pieces upright in the prepared jars. For the syrup, bring the water, apple cider vinegar, sugar and spices to the boil in a saucepan. Fill the jars with the syrup. Close with preserving ring, glass lid and preserving clips. Heat in a 90°C water bath for 30 minutes to preserve.
