Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 30 min.
Peel and dice 1 kg 200 g rhubarb.
Stage 2 - 10 min.
Tip into a saucepan and add 500 g caster sugar.
Leave the rhubarb and sugar to stand for 15 minutes to produce a syrupy juice in the bottom of the pan.
Then cook the rhubarb over medium heat without a lid and stirring frequently. The aim is to cook the rhubarb without turning it to mush - the pieces should still be whole.
Drain the rhubarb...

How to prevent butter burning during cooking
Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!). February 21th 2011146 K 24.1 3 min.
Italian Meringue
Italian meringue is made with sugar cooked to 120°C or 248°F. This is different from the French, which is made from caster sugar. The cooked sugar gives a softer meringue which can be added to other preparations or use as it is. June 2nd 2015485 K4.3 30 min.
