 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
 1/2 cinnamon stick
 1/2 small dried red chile, broken into pieces
 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
  Zest of 2 limes
  Pinch of kosher salt
 2 cups rhubarb cut into 1/2-in. chunks (about 4 stalks)
 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  Cracked pepper
Step 1
1

In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water, the vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, chile, mustard seeds, lime zest, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup rhubarb, reduce heat to medium, and cook until fruit begins to break down, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 cup rhubarb and cook until it's just tender, about 5 minutes more; you want to leave fruit a little chunky.
