Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh rhubarb chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional

Method
 

  1. Combine rhubarb, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rhubarb is soft.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla powder and cinnamon if using.

Notes

For a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender. Adjust sweetness to taste as rhubarb tartness varies.
