Love stewed rhubarb on my toast for breakfast

Like the person above, my rhubarb stew also did not turn out that beautiful red color in the OP's pictures. It was more of a pastel pink which did not look appetizing. I ended up throwing in a handful of fresh cranberries and it helped. Other than that little snafu, this was absolutely delicious. So simple and quick to make. I drizzled it over vanilla ice cream and it was a hit with the family.

I stew rhubarb almost exactly like this except I make it a little less sweet and use alternative sweeteners. The only thing I do differently is that I start the cooking with a few tablespoons of cranberry juice instead of water. It really adds to the aroma, taste and appearance of the sauce. Every year I make rhubarb jam, chutney and pickles. It's a family favourite for sure!

Having grown up in Saskatoon, rhubarb was a staple in our yard.... love it so much. Cooking a batch right now from my Mum's garden!

USB there supposed to be a lot of water in the pot?

Making some right now for my mother in assisted living. They have put their house up for sale but it hasnt sold yet. So I went by today and picked some rhubarb for her. Nothing like the tastes of childhood.

Delicious and so easy to make. I like the tartness so I used less sugar, but I think the recipe as written is probably the perfect amount for most people.

I love this recipe with 6 cups of rhubarb, first time if made it and it is a winner in my house, thank you. (I have to beg the hubarb of neighbors but I might plant my own now.)

Thank you for sharing this recipe.  It was quick and easy to make with great results.  We loved the sweet and sour flavor of the stewed rhubarb.  There are just so many wonderful ways to enjoy this treat, it's so versatile . (BK)

Was really surprised how easy this was.  Ty for posting.  Can't wait to try it. Still cooling.
