- Simmer together until soft, add more vinegar to prevent sticking.
- Stir from time to time. This will take around one and a half hours.
- The rhubarb may contain a lot of moisture which needs to be cooked off. Up to 150ml of the vinegar may not be needed.
- Pot at once into warm, sterilised jars and seal immediately.
