Stage 2 - 30 min.
Leave at room temperature for the sugar to act, and after 30 minutes or so you'll see that rhubarb juice has begun to collect in the bottom of the pan.

Stage 4 - 20 min.
Leave to cook on low heat for about 20 minutes until it is "stewed". Check by stirring: you should no longer be able to see individual pieces of rhubarb. They should have disintegrated into a smooth purée.

Remarks
Taste the fruit before it's completely cooked to see if it needs a little more sugar.
If you'd like a smoother result, you can blend the rhubarb briefly, but it's hardly necessary.

Passion fruit jellies
Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour.
