Rhubarb sauce

  • 1/2 cup dried cherries (I used a mix of cherries, cranberries, blueberries and golden raisins)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon olive or grapeseed oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 cups diced rhubarb
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • Fresh grating of nutmeg
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Pour 1/4 cup hot water and the vinegar over dried cherries in a small container. Let mixture stand 10 minutes.

Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and add onion. Cook until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes or so). Add the cherry mixture, rhubarb and honey, then reduce heat to low and simmer until rhubarb has softened, 8-10 minutes. Grate a pinch of nutmeg into sauce, and season with salt and pepper

Serve over grilled pork chops, or on toast topped with goat cheese.
