Method

Put the rhubarb, onion, caster sugar, cider vinegar, ginger, cinnamon stick and cloves in a preserving pan or large heavy-based pan. Bring to the boil, then cook over a medium heat for 1½ hours until the rhubarb has broken down and the mixture is jammy. Leave to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then divide between the sterilised jars while still hot. Seal and label.
