Make your own homemade rhubarb vinegar! This easy recipe is a great way to use up extra rhubarb. Use it on salads or to add flavor to cooking.
If you have an overabundance of rhubarb in your yard, you might be asking yourself, “How am I going to use up all this stuff?”
If you were my neighbor, I would say to give it to ME, since I don’t have my own rhubarb plants and I love classic rhubarb crisp, rhubarb pie, you name it.
But, if you do have too much extra rhubarb, a great and interesting way to use it is this delicious and easy-to-make homemade rhubarb vinegar recipe.
Thanks to my Mom, Roslyn, for making this for me!

How long does this last? I used Honey.

We have used it after a month and it has still been good, but I don’t know about long-term storage. Vinegar itself usually lasts for months or years, but adding the rhubarb may change that factor.

Oh my, can’t wait to try this! Do you think it would work with white balsamic vinegar?
Chrysa says
I think it would probably work – just give a different flavor. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
Sherry says
could any sugar substitutes be used? I am diabetic, but would love this in the summer time!
Chrysa says
I haven’t tried it with a substitute, but it wouldn’t hurt to experiment!
