- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 3/4 cup cider vinegar

- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds

Method
Have 4 pint (16-ounce) jars with lids ready.
Split rhubarb stalks lengthwise and use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough stringy skin.
Cut rhubarb into lengths that fit into the jars with just a little space at the top; fill jars evenly with rhubarb.
Combine sugar, vinegar, salt, coriander, peppercorns, chiles, bay leaves and 3 cups water in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil.
Lower heat and simmer 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and ladle liquid into the jars, placing 1 chile and 1 bay leaf in each.
Cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 day. Will keep refrigerated for a month or more.
