Pickling rhubarb is a brilliant way to preserve its deliciously tart flavour – it works a treat with rich mackerel pâté on toast. Any leftover rhubarb can also be enjoyed alongside pork or even salty cheese. This pickling method is also a great base recipe to help use up any sad-looking vegetables you have leftover in the fridge. When in season, use bright pink forced rhubarb, but at other times of year regular rhubarb is just as good.
