Sweet and Tart Rhubarb Pickles

Sweet and Tart Rhubarb Pickles

These pickles are perfect on a cheese plate, paired with rustic pâté or simple grilled chicken, tucked into a ham sandwich…or just eaten out of the jar. They are best stored in the fridge, where they’ll keep for a week. Don’t bother canning them, as the hot water processing turns them mushy.
