Ingredients

Version 1

  • 1 bunch fresh rhubarb (about 8 stalks)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water

Version 2

  • 1 bunch fresh rhubarb (about 8 stalks)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 orange (juice and zest)
  • ¼ cup raspberries (or peeled and chopped strawberries/apples/pears)
  • 1 pinch ginger (optional)

Instructions

  • Wash and chop the rhubarb into 2-3cm pieces. Be sure to remove any leaves, as they're toxic and also remove the very bottom of the stems.
  • Place all ingredients in a saucepan.
  • Heat gently, stirring, and once sugar has dissolved bring the mixture to the boil.
  • Simmer for 6-8 minutes or until rhubarb is tender and has partly broken down.
  • Serve warm or cold, with ice cream, yoghurt, pancakes, porridge or whatever else you fancy.
