Sweet and Savoury Rhubarb Sauce

I'm running a  race with my Rhubarb Patch.

It seems to be winning but I'm busy in the kitchen trying to keep up.

This Rhubarb sauce is a great way to use up Rhubarb and is a great barbecue sauce for  grilled steaks or chicken.  If you don't have time now to use up all your rhubarb, chop it and use it in this sauce later.

• 8 cup chopped red stalked rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
• 2 onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/4 cups cider vinegar
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper chili flakes
• 1 small can tomato paste 

1. In a large saucepan or dutch oven, combine all the ingredients.  Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.  Simmer several hours over low heat or until thickened.  
2. Cool and spoon into jars or freezer bags.  Keep refrigerated or freeze.
