Ingredients

Scale
  1. 4 Cups of Chopped Rhubarb pieces, chopped to 1/4 – 1/2 inch pieces.

  3. 1 1/2 Cups of Sugar
  4. Juice from 1 lemon
  5. 1 teaspoon of tapioca powder

Instructions

  1. Chop the Rhubarb into small pieces (between 1/4 to 1/2 pieces)
  2. Add to a large pan to simmer.
  3. Add the Sugar and water and simmer on Medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently. The Rhubarb will break down into a thick sauce.

Notes

More sugar can be added to taste. We have heard that most folks use as much as 1 cup of sugar for every cup of rhubarb. This recipe makes a sweet tart flavor which when paired with the sweet crust makes a delicious summery tart.
