This relish sounds absolutely delicious, Sam. Love having an alternative to cranberry sauce. Thanks for the recipe. I think having two options on the table for Christmas dinner is perfect because surprisingly, not everyone loves cranberries.
You’re so welcome Marie! It sure is a yummy different side to just cranberry sauce! I hope you enjoy 🙂
Omgosh, I love pears and this is the perfect time of year to enjoy them! Thanks for the awesome new recipe to try!
I hope you enjoy, Marie! Thank you!
What a fabulous mix of fruits, this look really delicious!
Oh it sure is a yummy side and a family fav!! Thank you, Carlee!
What would the approximate weight of the’bunch’of rhubarb? The recipe sounds delicious!
Hi there Mary, I would say it’s about 500g approximately. Next time I make the recipe I will weigh it and add it to the recipe!
This flavor combination sounds delicious! I’m not a fan of cranberry sauce, so this would be a great addition to the menu.
I hope you enjoy Beverly!
I love rhubarb, but I’ve never had it with pear. Can’t wait to try it. The relish is so pretty for Christmas.
It is such a yummy side to have and yes your so right it’s the perfect Christmas colour!
Oooh, this looks good. I love rhubarb as does my family and it’s not something you typically see during the holiday’s menus. Great recipe.
It sure is yummy as a side! Hope you enjoy as much as we did!!
This looks delicious. Could I make it and can it to give as gifts?
Most definitely, Terri! You would just have to make sure you used sterilized jars though 🙂
I have some rhubarb in the freezer, I’ll have to try this!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!
