Ingredients
- 4 talks rhubarb fresh (medium sized stalks)
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- 10 oz water
Instructions
- Put the chopped rhubarb, lemon juice, sugar and water in a pot over medium heat. Cook until the rhubarb is completely disintegrated (it will be very mushy). Simmer for 5 minutes then remove from heat.
- Place in a fine sieve over a bowl and allow the syrup to drain, occasionally stirring with a spatula, but don't press the mixture or the syrup won't be clear.
- Continue to stir until no more syrup comes out. I let mine sit for over an hour.
- Pour into sterilized bottles. My friend, Cathy (She Paused 4 Thought), got me this mushroom funnell for small bottles and it works great.
- Add a lid or cork and keep refrigerated, and use within a month.
- *DO NOT DISCARD THE MIXTURE IN THE SIEVE. Refrigerate and use as you would rhubarb compote: mixed into yogurt, with ice cream, etc. It just won't be a runny as compote.

Notes
- Try to use red stalks for the best color.
- I highly recommend a scale for best results.
