I formulated this to use some of the excessive quantity of rhubarb from the garden, without having to bake yet another pie. It has a very tart, lemony flavor which complements pork particularly well. Should keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.

I had no beer in the house so I used a cup of Diet Pepsi. I think it tastes divine. I will make it again for sure. :)

Wonderful. I omitted the liquid smoke and used mission fig balsamic vinegar. This is the best sauce. It is even great with cheese and crackers!

So good!! Thank you for this recipe! the whole family just kept pouring more sauce onto their pork tenderloin! makes about 3, 500ml jars. it does have more of a thin applesauce consistency but I expected that with the rhubarb. I will be keeping this one for every rhubarb season
