Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Immersion blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb rhubarb fresh, chopped
  • 2/3 cup sugar adjust to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the chopped rhubarb in a medium saucepan (choose a larger pot than you think you'll need).
  • Put the pot on low heat, add the sugar, and stir frequently.
  • Cook for a few minutes until the rhubarb breaks down into a sauce and the sugar dissolves.
  • Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then blend until smooth using an immersion blender or countertop blender.
  • Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Can also be frozen for longer storage.

Notes

You may add a squeeze of lemon or orange juice at the start of cooking to add brightness. Sweetness can be adjusted to taste. The sauce thickens as it cools.
