Why radishes: what do they add?
I made this with what I had in the house. Used red onion instead of shallots, and did not use radishes, just rhubarb and onion. It was very good as a condiment with pork chops. I will make this again. And I will try to add radishes the next time to see what they do to the flavor and texture.
The shallots don't get limp if you add curry powder at the same time. The whole concoction became too dry so I added a half cup of cider vinegar.
I can rhubarb sauce. Would this recipe be safe for canning
