Ingredients

  • 1 pound rhubarb about 3 cups sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2-4 tablespoons water adjust for desired thickness
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, water, and lemon juice over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to medium.
  • Cook, while stirring frequently, until the rhubarb softens and the mixture has thickened, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Let cool and then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Serve cold, warm, or at room temperature.

Notes

Frozen rhubarb will also work nicely for this recipe.
