First Of 2008!

One of Jay’s doctors asked why we don’t make Rhubarb sauce.  To make a long story shorter—after investigating we ended up picking our own recipe and I made it today.

Starting with the stalks Jay picked yesterday I diced a quart of rhubarb, chopped a quart of onions, added brown sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne, and salt to a large pot. 

I simmered this for 45 minutes stirring every once in a while.  When this was accomplished I bottled it and processed it for 10 minutes. 

.

The results were a dozen eight oz. jars of eye opening sauce.

There you have it—our first canning project of 2008 with several more to come.

  1. It looks delicious.  Kind of a new adventure, it sounds like.  We have enjoyed our jars of goodies from you and whenever we have toast and jam, I think of you and Jay.
