Напрямки

Cook the sauce:

In a medium saucepan, combine rhubarb, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, and water. Stir well to combine.

Simmer and stir:

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is soft and the sauce has thickened.

Blend for smoothness:

Let the sauce cool slightly, then use an immersion blender to puree it directly in the pot, or transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. If it’s too thick, stir in a bit more water to reach your desired consistency.

Taste and adjust:

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed—add more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or spices for heat.

Cool and store:

Let the sauce cool to room temperature. Transfer to a jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
