INGREDIENTS:
- 3 stalks rhubarb
- 1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins or cherries work well)
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 cup whey from kefir or yogurt
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup water
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Chop rhubarb fine and add to small bowl. Run a sharp knife through the dried fruit and pistachios until they are broken up well. Add these to the rhubarb along with all other ingredients.
- Transfer to a quart jar and press mixture down until it is below the level of the liquid.
- Cover and ferment at room temperature for 2-4 days, checking the progress daily. It is done when the mixture smells fermented and has some extra zip to it.
Use as a condiment with yogurt or kefir, or with savory dishes such as cooked meats or grilled vegetables.
