Step by step recipe
Stage 1
5 min.
Put 500 g rhubarb in a pan, after preparing it as shown here.Tip 150 g caster sugar over the top and shake or stir gently.
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 3
This is the sign that you can put it on to cook gently, covered with a lid.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.Your stewed rhubarb is ready. Leave to cool, then keep refrigerated in a sealed container.
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.
