PICKLED RHUBARB

I'm very fortunate to have rhubarb growing in my garden , so I have it on hand throughout the year ....
Rhubarb is at home in a sweet dish and just as welcome in a savoury dish .......or just as a crunchy snack straight from the pickling brine .

I use 10 stalks of rhubarb, washed , trimmed and sliced .
Now all you need is to prepare your brine .......1tbs of mustard seeds , 12 whole cloves , 1 dsp of whole peppercorns , 2 cups of apple cider vinegar,  1x  250ml cup of raw sugar , 1 tsp of sea salt .
Place these into a small saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar is dissolved , it won't take long and the brine will only be warm...
Remove from heat .
Place the sliced /chopped rhubarb into a jar that has a lid , now pour in the warm brine .
Cover with a lid and leave in the refrigerator for 10 days .....
This is rhubarb is  great as a snack , as an additive to soups or slow cooked meals .......add it to salads and drizzle with  a little of the brine .
Maybe another time I will tell you how to prepare silverside with the brine and rhubarb .
