Here's a recipe from the German Vorwerk site. I don't know if it's in the English cookery book but I'll post it anyway.
Serves four.
500 g rhubarb, cut into 2 cm pieces
200 g port
30 g sugar
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1 tsp cornflour
Put all the things into the TM bowl, cook 8-10 M/100°/ speed 2 and leave to cool.
You may have to add more sugar depending on the type of port that you have used.

Interesting. What would you use it for? Could it be served over meat or chicken or is it something you have on bread? Certainly doesn't look like a chutney.
-
Thanks vivacity - sounds interesting. Wonder if it was done on reverse the pieces of rhubarb may stay whole ?
I think that it would work well with pork or a dessert for me.

I've just checked the Vorwerk site. This is served alone, with vanille sauce or with ice cream. Hope that helps. I think I would also make it using :-: because I'd prefer a few chunks.

I don't reckon it will be that sweet with only 30g sugar! Thats what I put in my tomato sauce! Rhuburb isnt that sweet either, possibly less sugar than a tomato, so I reckon it is a sauce for meat! Can't get rhurbarb in Spain, so you guys will have to try it out! Sounds nice though, nice glass of port (maybe for JD while it cooks!) ;) ;) ;)

Looks like we're turning her into an alcoholic !!
BTW - rhubarb does vary greatly in how sweet it is - think like cavolo nero and swede potatoes, it may be sweeter in colder climates. My mother tells stories of eating raw rhubarb stalks and raw swedes which were very sweet.
I have eaten raw rhubarb at times when it was sweet enough - but usually a bit sour - so need to check and adjust the sugar for sweet/savoury dishes.

I've seen the letters BTW twice this morning, what does that mean please? As far as the rhubarb sauce goes, I think I would have it chunky for dessert and mushy for savoury. Like Thermomixer, think Pork or maybe chicken would suit it. Be like having cranberry sauce with turkey which is a favourite in this house. I'll try it and let you know.

Thanks Thermomixer - my vocabulary is expanding ;D ;D ;D

I made half quantity of this sauce today and served perhaps a tablespoon on some steamed chicken fillets - you wouldn't want too much. Not bad but I think I would prefer gravy. I then tried it with ice-cream for dessert and it was much better although I think it could do with a little more sugar (as Bron suggested) when served with sweets. Would go well with custard, even over an apple pie with cream. A little bit goes a long way though and because it isn't something we would eat regularly, I have frozen the leftovers in an ice-cube tray. I now have 11 cubes as a topping for later. Mine was the smooth version, even on reverse I think the rhubarb would fall to bits.

Well done JD! Yes think it would lovely over vanilla ice-cream! Have to agree, I would prefer gravy too! But thanks for trying it out! I cant get rhubarb here in Spain, :( :( :( I love rhubarb crumble! My favourite!
