Rhubarb is something that grows very well in our backyard garden and always giving us large quantities of rhubarb every 6-8 weeks. With this amount of rhubarb on hand we are always looking for new ways to use it all up. We decided to try make rhubarb ketchup with some of this last batch of rhubarb. It is quite an easy ketchup to make and requires only basic ingredients. It goes well on burgers, chips or used a as dip.
