Preparation
- Place the rhubarb in a colander, and sprinkle with the sugar. Let it drain for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the honey, cherries, vinegar, wine, mustard seeds, salt and spices in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until syrupy.
- Stir in the onion and celery, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the rhubarb, and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Avoid overcooking (the rhubarb should be tender but not mushy).
- Add the jalapeno and the orange zest; cook 1 minute. Stir in the lime juice, remove from the pan and let cool. Serve at room temperature, or chilled.
