This recipe was kindly supplied by Tina from the West Coast, in the Summer Harvest Recipe competition. Tina says: "I used to love plum sauce but oddly rhubarb has now stolen the show! This is the reason I now have 3 rhubarb plots around my garden - such a versitile recipe - it's delicious as it is but I often chuck in whatever else is ready around the garden - plums, apples, cherry toms. You can make it as sweet or spicy as you desire - it's delicious on meat both hot & cold, with crackers, on baked potatoes - I'd eat sausages all day so long as I could dip them in this delicious sauce!!"
Ingredients:
- 4C sliced rhubarb
- 2C cider vinegar
- 1 kg brown sugar

Hi Poppy, sorry but we didn't hear back regarding the amount of brown sugar so can't confirm if it is 1kg or 1 cup. Let us know if you end up making it :) Thanks Jenna - Tui Team

I've tried this with almost a full kilo of brown sugar and it was really tasty, quite sweet but the sweetness was balanced out by the chilli, onion and vinigar flavours. I had a look at some other chutney recipes and although this much sugar per fruit is on the sweeter side, there are other recipes with similar amounts. Hope this helps people! I am making my second batch, using 2tsp chilli poweder since I don't have raw chillis. I got just over 4x400g jars but this may be due to my measuring style? A super recipe, thanks Tina and Tui Garden for posting! YUM

The recipe is correct with 1kg brown sugar. I make this with tomatoes, kiwi fruit, plums and any other fruit I have in surplus.
