Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim off and discard the green leaves from the rhubarb stalks, as they are toxic.
  2. Wash the stalks thoroughly under cold water and trim any tough ends.
  3. Cut the stalks into uniform 1/2-inch to 1-inch pieces.
  4. Place the cut rhubarb in a large saucepan or Dutch oven.
  5. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the rhubarb and add the water.
  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.
