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.
