Rhubarb Syrup Recipe
Description
The recipe for Rhubarb Syrup involves boiling chopped rhubarb with water to extract its flavor, then straining to separate the pulp from the liquid. Sugar is stirred into the hot strained liquid until it dissolves, creating a balanced syrup that is both sweet and tangy. Cooling the syrup thoroughly before use allows it to thicken slightly and develop its full flavor.
Made with simple ingredients, this syrup preserves rhubarb’s fresh taste in a concentrated form, ideal for mixing into beverages, drizzling over desserts, or using as a flavor enhancer.
Both fresh and frozen rhubarb are suitable for this syrup, making it an adaptable recipe regardless of seasonal availability.
Ingredients
- 8 cups rhubarb see notes, chopped
- 3 cups water
- 2 cups sugar
Instructions
- Add the rhubarb and water to a small pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve then return the syrup to the pot.
- Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves, about 2 minutes.
- Let the rhubarb syrup cool completely before using it or storing it.
Notes
- Fresh or frozen rhubarb both work in this recipe!
