Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

10 ounces trimmed rhubarb, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (about 2 3/4 cups)
2/3 cup sugar, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Place the rhubarb, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and rhubarb is almost tender, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the rhubarb from the liquid, and transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Raise heat to medium, and continue simmering liquid until thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer reduced liquid to a small bowl to cool. Add the cooled thickened liquid to the reserved cooked rhubarb, and stir to combine.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, plump stalks with deep red color. Avoid stalks that are wilted, bruised, or have brown spots.
  • Trim the rhubarb: Cut off the leaves and the bottom inch of the stalk. Slice the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the rhubarb from sticking and burning.
  • Add sugar gradually: Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste. This will help to prevent the rhubarb from becoming too sweet.
  • Simmer the rhubarb gently: Bring the rhubarb to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender.
  • Serve the rhubarb warm or cold: Stewed rhubarb can be served as a side dish, topping, or filling for pies, tarts, and other desserts.

Conclusion:

Stewed rhubarb is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways. With its tart and tangy flavor, stewed rhubarb is a perfect addition to any meal. Whether you serve it as a side dish, topping, or filling, stewed rhubarb is sure to please everyone at the table.
