Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh rhubarb (approximately 3 cups cut up)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- sugar, (for addtional sweetening if necessary) 
 
A sauce which can be served warm or cold, eaten on its own, or served as a topping on other food,
such as cake, ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
 
Directions
  • Clean 1 pound of rhubarb and cut into 3/4 to 1 inch pieces. This should produce approximately
    3 cups of rhubarb.
  • Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat
    and stir until sugar has dissolved. Add the rhubarb and bring sauce back to a boil. Reduce heat to
    a simmer and cook uncovered until rhubarb is crisp-tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Taste
    to see if sauce is the desired sweetness. If it requires additional sugar, add 1 or 2 tablespoons
    at a time and bring sauce back to a boil to be sure sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from the heat
    when sauce is at desired sweetness. Serve warm or cold. The sauce can be eaten on its own or it
    can be served as a topping on other food, such as cake, ice cream, pancakes, and waffles.
