Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) fresh rhubarb, cut into ½ inch pieces
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp (1.5g) kosher salt

Instructions:

  1. Wash the rhubarb stalks under cold water and pat them dry with a towel. Slice them into uniform ½ inch pieces.
  2. Place the chopped rhubarb in your pan and toss with granulated sugar and kosher salt.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until you see a pool of liquid forming at the bottom of the pan.
  4. Stir in the cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice.
  5. Ensure the cornstarch is fully integrated and no white powder remains on the fruit.
  6. Place the pan over medium heat.
  7. Stir occasionally for 15-20 minutes. Cook until the liquid thickens into a glossy syrup and the rhubarb is tender.
  8. Remove the pan from the heat once the bubbles are thick and slow.
  9. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes before using it in a recipe.
