15m prep 12m cook 2h ready

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Combine in a medium heavy saucepan: 4 cups diced rhubarb (about 6 stalks); ¼ to ½ cup sugar
-
Step 2.
Let stand at room temperature until the rhubarb exudes some juice, at least 15 minutes. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is tender and the liquid thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool, without stirring. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or for up to 2 days. The mixture will thicken when chilled.
