Stewed Rhubarb makes a sauce that can be used for a dessert sauce to top ice cream, pudding or cake, as a side dish for any meal.

It can also be used as an ingredient for a baking recipe to make a rhubarb loaf, a rhubarb smoothie, a milkshake or to make a yummy and healthy yogurt parfait!

I use this amazing rhubarb stew as a sauce for all of these types of recipes resulting in many accolades from the family!

You can make this recipe using fresh or frozen rhubarb.

In fact, this is the rhubarb recipe I make most often!

I make this rhubarb recipe (scroll down for the recipe) over and over again, all year, and we never tire of it! ... In fact, I have been making this recipe for more than 35 years!

Rhubarb is a sauce that can be used on ice cream, puddings, cheesecakes, short cakes, pound cakes, waffles, crepes, and more! Remember, rhubarb is a nutritious vegetable!

It is a great side for any meal menu too!







Refrigerated, stewed rhubarb will keep for at least a week!

You can also freeze it (in a single bowl, or in small one-serving size containers) for up to one year.

I like to some in single serving size containers, and take them out as desired for the lunches ;)

The first rhubarb harvest of the season often yields the reddest rhubarb, and, the subsequent harvests will often yield less red rhubarb.

For this reason I almost always add raspberry or strawberry flavoured gelatin to my rhubarb sauce, (for example, "Jello" brand), after it has been stewed and removed from the heat.

It is added just after the sugar has been added.

Adding the gelatin is a great idea, intensifying the flavour, consistency and the texture of the rhubarb, making it ever so suitable for a topping, or on its own as a side dish!

My Lovely Mother taught me this, (besides all my other cooking and baking smarts :) ~~Thanks MOM!

You don't have 8 cups of rhubarb to make this recipe?

No Problem, just adjust the recipe using 1 to 7 cups of chopped rhubarb ... make just a small batch if you prefer ... simply adjust the sugar and the gelatin /"jello" crystals and water accordingly ... an approximate is what I do ;) ... it does not have to be exact measurements to make this yummy rhubarb sauce!
