Stewed Rhubarb a great last minute dessert option, or just for fun as a tasty treat!

Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh rhubarb

  • 1 cup organic cane sugar

  • 2 tbsp. water

  • 2 tbsp. maple syrup (optional)

  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla paste (optional)

  • Please NOTE: some add red food colouring, however, I personally don’t as I like to create recipes without colouring additives.

Directions

  • Cut up the fresh rhubarb into 1/2″ pieces.
  • In a saucepan, combine all the above ingredients.
  • Simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes or until all the rhubarb is broken down and soft.
  • Let cool.
  • Put in mason jar in your fridge. Makes about 2 pints. Keeps for about 2 weeks – but I don’t think you will have it that long!
