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:

  1. Wash the rhubarb thoroughly, pat dry, trim the ends, and chop the stalks into uniform ½-inch pieces.
  2. Combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, water, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and ground nutmeg.
