Wash and trim the rhubarb stalks, then cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.
Peel and dice the red onion into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, grated ginger, diced red onion, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water.
Add the golden raisins, mustard seeds, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and ground black pepper to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine all ingredients well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook uncovered for about 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
As the chutney cooks, the rhubarb will break down, the onion will soften, and the mixture will thicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before removing from heat.
Let the chutney cool to room temperature, then transfer it to sterilized jars for storage.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process the jars for longer shelf life. Serve as a condiment to complement your favorite dishes.
