Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups Rhubarb, chopped (fresh or frozen) Fresh is preferable but frozen works too.
  • 1 cup Sugar Use white sugar, brown sugar, or honey.
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice Freshly squeezed is best, but bottled is fine.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the rhubarb into small pieces, about 1-inch chunks.
Cooking
  1. In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, and water.
  2. Cook over medium heat until the rhubarb is tender and the mixture is bubbly, approximately 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the lemon juice and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Notes

Use a sturdy wooden spoon for stirring. Serve over vanilla ice cream or as a topping for pancakes or yogurt. Avoid adding ginger, as it can alter the flavor negatively.
