Rhubarb Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 pound Rhubarb stalks (Fresh rhubarb, about 4-5 stalks)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar (Adjust to taste)
• 0.25 cup Water (Or as needed)

Instructions

1. 1Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly. Peel the rhubarb (if the stalks are thick and tough) and cut into 1-inch pieces.
2. 2Place the rhubarb pieces in a saucepan. Sprinkle generously with sugar. Add water to the saucepan, just enough to prevent the rhubarb from burning. Rhubarb contains a large percentage of water, so only a little additional water is needed.
3. 3Cook over medium heat until the rhubarb is soft and the sauce has thickened slightly. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. 4For a less tart sauce, cover the rhubarb with boiling water, let stand for five minutes, then drain and cook as directed. This will reduce the amount of sugar needed.
