Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped Ensure the rhubarb is fresh and vibrant for the best flavor.
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups granulated sugar Adjust based on desired sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash your fresh rhubarb thoroughly and chop it into approximately 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, add the chopped rhubarb, water, and sugar. Stir gently to combine.
Cooking
  1. Place the saucepan on medium heat and allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the syrup using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the solids.
  4. Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to a clean glass jar or bottle. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

For unique flavors, consider swapping in other fruits like strawberries or blueberries during the simmering process. Store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks, or freeze in ice cube trays for up to 6 months.
