May Food Festival: Rhubarb Chutney

MAY FOOD FESTIVAL:
RHUBARB CHUTNEY
Our 2023 calendar theme, Preservation, is an ode to the art of preserving the harvest as well as a salute to the self-preservation of body and spirit. These have been challenging years! It’s fair to say we have been pickled and fermented, but that life goes on. It is the celebratory moments and the opportunities to come together that we relish.
This month, we’re celebrating with a Rhubarb Chutney recipe by Chef Andrew Smith.
This tangy-sweet Rhubarb Chutney is a versatile and lively garnish. It pairs perfectly with grilled pork chops or served alongside ham.
