Ingredients

1/2 red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds 

1/4 cup golden raisins 

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger 

Zest of 1 orange 

1/2 cup white wine 

1/4 cup white-wine vinegar 

1 cup packed light-brown sugar 

1 pound trimmed rhubarb, cut into 6-inch lengths 

2 celery, cut into 6-inch lengths 

Preparation

Combine onion, raisins, ginger, orange zest, wine, vinegar, and brown sugar in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Add rhubarb and celery; cover; reduce heat. Simmer gently until rhubarb is tender but not falling apart, about 5 minutes.

Remove rhubarb from liquid, and set aside. Continue to simmer liquid until it has thickened and reduced and celery is tender, about 10 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl, and return cooked rhubarb to mixture. Let cool, and chill until needed.
