My rhubarb patch is happy right now. Like, VERY happy. As we get into summer, we're taking advantage of what's growing in the yard!
Stewed Rhubarb
- 3 cups rhubarb, chopped into chunks (about 3/4 inch)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon water
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of orange juice
- Place all ingredients into a large saucepan and stir together.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Immediately reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer.
- Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb completely breaks down into a thick sauce.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Serving ideas: I like this warm over ice cream or oatmeal, or mixed into yogurt and topped with granola.
(Depending what kind of rhubarb you are growing, this might be a pretty shade of pink, or it might be more greenish, which is less esthetic but still tasty!)
