This recipe is one that started me down a path of savory rhubarb recipes. If you've only experienced rhubarb in sweet desserts, you're missing out. Rhubarbs natural tartness is the perfect companion for spice, like the chipotle used in this salsa. This salsa eventually morphed into an enchilada sauce (also not to be missed.)

This salsa sits on the tart/spicy side. You may need to adjust the brown sugar- this recipe is very forgiving in that nothing really needs to be exact.
As mentioned above, rhubarb makes for a great savory treat. If you find yourself with a few stalks, skip the pie and try out one of these savory rhubarb recipes.

What a happy accident! I am the same way with rhubarb...strawberry rhubarb pie is my favorite! But, this looks like the perfect recipe for me to get out of my comfort zone a bit. Thanks for sharing!
Frozen rhubarb! Great idea. My husband loves the stuff, but I can only get my hands on it for a short period of time.
Love the flavors in this. Bookmarking for next time rhubarb shows up at the market.
I was just thinking about all my rhubarb in the freezer from last spring too and that I should really use it up so0n. Thanks for the reminder and the inspiration!
This is so unique and sounds so yummy!
Awesome, we're in summer in New Zealand and I just got a massive bunch of rhubarb. Thanks for this!

I don't know- I'm not good with canning and knowing the right acidity. I know there's this recipe that does have canning instructions! http://www.sbcanning.com/2011/05/canning-rhubarb-now-for-something.html
