It's always fun to serve a meat or poultry dish with a twist. This tangy-sweet chutney is a wonderfully different garnish. With fine chunks of rhubarb and raisins, it has a nice consistency. It's among our favorite condiments. —Jan Paterson, Anchorage, Alaska

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
4 cups coarsely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon red food coloring, optional

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, red pepper flakes and cloves. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add the rhubarb, onion and raisins. Cook and stir over medium heat until rhubarb is tender and mixture is slightly thickened, 5-10 minutes. Stir in food coloring if desired. Cool completely. Store in the refrigerator.

Rhubarb

If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
