Ingredients
- 6 pounds rhubarb
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Widmark clover honey
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
- 1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon diamond kosher salt

- 1 1/2 cups finely diced red onion
- 2 1/2 cups celery (1/2-inch slices)

Method
- Trim the rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a colander over a bowl.
- Sprinkle with the sugar and macerate for 30 minutes.
- In a large, heavy bottomed pot, cook the honey, cranberries, vinegar, red wine, mustard seeds, salt and spices over medium heat until syrupy.
- Add red onion and celery and cook for 5 minutes.
