Why radishes: what do they add?
The shallots don't get limp if you add curry powder at the same time. The whole concoction became too dry so I added a half cup of cider vinegar.
I can rhubarb sauce. Would this recipe be safe for canning
This was originally published in 1987 and canning instructions were included: https://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/24/nyregion/food-rhubarb-can-be-used-in-dishes-as-the-vegetable-it-is.html
I made this with what I had in the house. Used red onion instead of shallots, and did not use radishes, just rhubarb and onion. It was very good as a condiment with pork chops. I will make this again. And I will try to add radishes the next time to see what they do to the flavor and texture.
