Ingredients

1. 4 cups rhubarb, chopped
2. 1 cup water
3. 1 cup sugar

Instructions

1. Place chopped rhubarb and water in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat and allow to boil. Once boiling reduce to medium-low heat and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The rhubarb will turn a yellow-ish color and look mushy.
2. Strain solution through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. Press the rhubarb solids a little with the back of a spoon to extract more liquid.
3. Return strained liquid to small, clean sauce pan on medium heat and add sugar. Allow sugar to dissolve (approximately 1-2 minutes).
4. Let the solution cool and then transfer syrup to sealed container.

Notes

1. Keep refrigerated in sealed container. Lasts approximately 2 weeks.
