  4. Place the cut rhubarb in a large saucepan or Dutch oven.

  6. Let the mixture stand for 10-15 minutes until the rhubarb releases its juices.
  7. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to dissolve the sugar.
  8. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
  9. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until the rhubarb is tender but still holds its shape.
  10. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving or storing.
