Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds tender red rhubarb, cut into 1/2″ pieces
- 1/2 cup water or more for a looser sauce
- 2/3 cup sugar (use less for a tart sauce, more for a sweeter sauce)
- 1 drop red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Cooking the Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium to medium-high heat, stir together all sauce ingredients. Let mixture come to a boil and then turn heat down to medium-low and let simmer until rhubarb is broken down but chunks still remain. This should take 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the tenderness of the rhubarb.
- Adjusting Flavor: Taste test the sauce while it is simmering. Add more sugar if you like a sweeter sauce. Add more water if you’d like a thinner sauce. If you’d like a little more color to your sauce, stir in a drop or two of red food coloring.
- Storage: Remove pan from heat and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Store in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 6 months.
