Great recipe for those who like Rhubarb Conserve I got this recipe from an Amish cookbook I have.
Difficulty: Intermediate
Servings: 4 1/2 cups
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: one hour and a halfIngredients
1 1/4 pounds fresh rhubarb chopped
1 large orange
1/2 large lemon
4 cups of sugar
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
t tablespoons golden raisins
1/4 tsp ground cloves
few drops of red food coloring (optional)
Directions
Put rhubarb in a large saucepan. Cut each orange slice into eight pie shaped wedges, and each lemon slice into fourteen pie shape wedges. Add to the rhubarb along with the sugar and mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook 5 minutes longer. Ladle into sterilized jars and process in a water bath canner at a simmering temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. This conserve also freezes well.
