How to Make Easy Stewed Rhubarb

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the rhubarb begins to soften (about 5 minutes).
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  4. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and slightly thickened and you see strings of rhubarb.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The rhubarb will continue to thicken as it cools.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
