Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds of tender red rhubarb, cut into ½-inch pieces
- ½ cup water (adjust for desired consistency)
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar (modify to taste)
- Optional: 1 drop of red food coloring for enhanced color
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix the chopped rhubarb, water, and sugar.
- Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. Stir the mixture and bring it to a boil
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down but some chunks remain for texture.
- Adjust to Taste: Taste the sauce during cooking. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more sugar. For a thinner consistency, incorporate additional water. If a more vibrant color is desired, stir in a drop or two of red food coloring.
- Cool and Store: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool completely. Transfer the cooled sauce to an airtight container.
