Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) fresh rhubarb, chopped into ½-inch pieces
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60ml) water
- ¼ tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
- ⅛ tsp (0.1g) ground nutmeg
Instructions:
- Wash the rhubarb thoroughly, pat dry, trim the ends, and chop the stalks into uniform ½-inch pieces.
- Combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, water, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has broken down and the sauce reaches a syrupy, velvety consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and ground nutmeg.
