ingredients
Roasted Rhubarb Spread
8 cups
rhubarb, ends trimmed and cut into 1" (2.5 cm) length
1 cup
granulated sugar
1/3 cup
honey
3 tbsp
Crystal Margarine, melted
2 tsp
orange zest
1/4 cup
orange juice
2 tsp
vanilla extract
directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the rhubarb, sugar, honey, Crystal margarine and orange zest.
Transfer rhubarb mixture to a large rimmed baking pan and spread out in a single layer (use 2 rimmed baking pans if necessary). Roast in oven until juices begin to caramelize, about 1 hour.
Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Using a standing or immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth.
Transfer into a medium pot. Add in both the orange juice and vanilla. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low, allowing to simmer, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 30 minutes.
Transfer to two 1 cup jars or freezable airtight containers. The spread will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Chef’s Notes
- Easily turn this into Roasted Rhubarb Strawberry Spread by switching out 3 cups of rhubarb with 4 cups of stemmed and halved strawberries.
