My sister made this recently (all rhubarb, no strawberry) and though I didn't get to try it, she said OH MY GOD IT'S SO GOOD, and that she might marry her King Arthur Flour cookbook, so I think it's worth trying.  :D

How about a South Indian-style chutney or pickle?

Ooh, that's a cool idea. Will have to do some googling.

If I can find the recipe book, I'll send along the one I have made - really nice balance of hot from the chiles and tart from the rhubarb.

Please do, I love that flavor profile.

I had some pickled rhubarb at a Japanese restaurant very recently.  They were good, but in looking for a recipe online, I found this (different) one, which to me sounds even better: http://phickle.com/misozuke-miso-cultured-pickles/

I could not find that old recipe book, but my Tamil BFF sent this along:

Rhubarb Thokku

“Thokku” is a cooked pickle made of any sour fruit / plant material that is suitably converted into a fine mush before or during the pickling process. The original recipe is made with peeled and grated green mango in season. The shelf-life is quite long, especially in the refrigerator.  This can be made with rhubarb, cranberries, and sour crab apples.

Per BFF, the pickle can accompany any Indian food, but it also makes a great spread on bread for grilled cheese!

The most essential pickling spices that preserve the pickle are turmeric and powdered roasted fenugreek and salt. The hotness is negotiable. If you have the turmeric, fenugreek and salt to the right extent, the pickle will keep well!

Thanks, I am definitely making that! I have everything except the  asofoetida (I'm not entirely sure what that even is, but I'm sure I can find it and figure it out).
