Stewed Rhubarb

One of the things I loved about spring as a kid was Stewed Rhubarb, and I still do. Served piping hot over fresh churned vanilla ice cream is a real delight! You can even add strawberries or blueberries, and take even further by adding a crisp topping like granola, sprinkled over it. Here's a very simple recipe for stewed rhubarb, which makes me wonder why more people don't make it. Enjoy!







Ingredients

• 1 lb. rhubarb
• 1/2 cup organic light brown sugar, or your choice of sweetener (molasses or honey make for unique flavor, rice syrup also works well)
• 1 tsp. ginger
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 Tbl. water

Directions

1. Wash and cut rhubarb into 1-1 1/2 inch pieces.
2. Put in pot with water.
3. Add sweetener, ginger, and cinnamon.
4. Cover and cook over medium heat 'til tender and stewed.
5. Serve as desired. I like it over fresh-churned ice cream, with yogurt, and/or with granola sprinkled over it.
6. Eat and enjoy!
