We enjoy making stewed rhubarb. For us it is an -ish recipe or a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Put cut up rhubarb in pan. Add water so that it is about halfway up the rhubarb. If you cover the rhubarb, it will be too runny. Add some sugar – say, 1 tbsp/9 inch stalk. Stir in sugar so that it dissolves. Simmer on stove topover medium to medium high heat, stirring about once a minute. Rhubarb will soften and separate, and it shouldn’t take long. Once it is softened and separated it is done. Enjoy!
This can be served by itself, or over breads or ice cream, or with other fruits.
This is adapted from Fannie Farmer recipe with these proportions – 1 lb. rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water.
