Ingredients

  • 2 pounds trimmed rhubarb stalks (about 8-10 large stalks)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Wash rhubarb and slice into ½ inch thick pieces. Toss rhubarb and sugar together in a large saucepan and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Stir.
  • Heat rhubarb mixture over medium high heat, stirring often. When the mixture comes to a simmer, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue to simmer until the rhubarb has broken down, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then transfer to a storage container and chill for at least 2 hours. Use in Easy Rhubarb Parfait, as a topping for ice cream or cake, mix into cocktails, or eat as it is.
