The tartness of the rhubarb is complemented by the sweetness of the chocolate, creating a flavor profile that is perfect for dessert. The rich and smooth texture of the preserve makes it perfect for spreading on toast, or spooning over ice cream for a decadent treat.

3.	Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate until it has melted and combined with the rhubarb.
4.	Season with a pinch of salt and let cool before serving or storing in an airtight container.
