Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 1/4 cups (1/2-inch) slices rhubarb
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon chipotle Chile powder
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 5 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Add rhubarb; cook 3 minutes or until rhubarb is translucent, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 cup water, sugar, ketchup, vinegar, and chipotle; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 6 minutes or until rhubarb is tender.

2. Place half of rhubarb mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend rhubarb mixture until smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining rhubarb mixture.
