Instructions

Wash and chop the rhubarb into small, even pieces.
In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika. Stir over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add optional ingredients like honey, chili flakes, or lemon zest if desired. Let the sauce cook for 20-30 minutes until it thickens.
For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture once the rhubarb is soft.
Let the sauce cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Consistency is key; simmer longer for a thicker sauce.

Balance flavors by adjusting sugar and vinegar.

Store in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.

Experiment with additional spices or herbs for unique flavors.
