Orange Rhubarb Butter

DIRECTIONS

• Combine the three ingredients in a wide pan (I used a 5 1/2 quart Dutch oven) and bring to a simmer. Reduce the temperature to low and let it
• gently bubble, stirring every five minutes or so.
• If it’s sticking to the bottom of the pot badly, lower the heat a bit more.
• Cook like this for at least an hour, until butter has reduced in volume and has turned a deep, rosy color.
• Prepare one pint or two half pint jars. When butter is sufficiently cooked down, ladle it into jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
• Wipe rims, apply lids and screw on bands. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.
• Makes: 2 half pints.
• NOTE: You can double this recipe but cooking time will increase.
