Notes
- Rhubarb tends to still have dirt on it when it’s in the grocery store, so make sure you thoroughly wash it.
- Do not eat any leaves of the rhubarb plant as they are toxic and can cause stomach discomfort.
- Depending on how you’re using the rhubarb, you can cut the the rhubarb into smaller or longer shapes.
- Do not overcook the rhubarb or it will become mushy. You want to cook it until it holds its shape but is also fork tender.
- If you find that your rhubarb isn’t sweet enough, feel free to add as much caster sugar as you need to create the taste you enjoy.
