<p>An interesting take on traditional pickles, tangy pickled rhubarb is a great addition to cheese platters or a condiment for charcuterie and roasted meats.</p>
<p>
<strong>Ingredients:</strong>
<br />
<span class=”apple-style-span”>
<i>2 cups apple cider vinegar<br />

<strong>Instructions:</strong>
</span>
</p>
<ol type=”1″>
<li>
<span class=”apple-converted-space”>Boil</span>
<span class=”apple-style-span”>vinegar, sugar, salt, ginger and spices until sugar and salt dissolve (approximately 5 minutes after coming to a boil). Strain out the solids, and set aside.</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class=”apple-style-span”>Cut rhubarb into batons long enough to fill the jar. (For half-pint jars, cut stalks into 4-inch pieces.)</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class=”apple-style-span”>Pack rhubarb into sterilized jars with a few bits of the reserved solid spices.</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class=”apple-style-span”>Pour hot liquid over jars, screw on lids, and allow to cool.</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class=”apple-style-span”>Refrigerate for up to one month.</span>
<strong>Note:</strong>

</span>
<span class=”apple-style-span”>It’s best to treat rhubarb as a refrigerator pickle, as the canning process will soften the fruit to mush.</span>
