Rhubarb Ketchup

Rhubarb means spring is on its way! It is one of the first crops to be harvested in Britain and remains in season from February to July. Rhubarb is one of the few vegetables traditionally cooked as a dessert, but it can be a truly interesting addition to savoury dishes - and makes great ketchup!
