This boldly spiced rhubarb side-dish is both sweet and savory. It has all the flavors of good chutney and is a great pairing with Herb Crusted Pork Loin (see recipes).

what a wonderful fun post and I learned a lot too, loved learning all the different gin drinks
Lovely drink, great to learn about different kinds of fizz!
Once again you caught my attention with a wonderful gin drink. Gin Fizz is a fantastic way to wyle away a hot saturaday on the veranda.
Never knew there was a selection of fizz combinations. Plus, I could use one of these right about now.
