Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups rhubarb chopped into ¼-inch pieces (Note 1)
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Wash and chop the rhubarb into ¼-inch pieces.
- In a large saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, and water. Stir to combine.
- Heat over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally and watch carefully to prevent boiling over.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl. Pour the mixture through the strainer, then gently press the softened rhubarb with a wooden spoon to extract as much syrup as possible.
- Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to bottles or jars. This helps prevent excess condensation.
- Storage: Store the rhubarb simple syrup in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container.
Notes
Note 1: Red or green rhubarb works. Fresh or frozen rhubarb works too. Defrost frozen rhubarb and drain off any excess liquid before simmering.
How To Serve: Place syrup in a regular mouth mason jar and use a syrup dispenser for a mess-free serving option! Works great for lemonade bars, or to store in the refrigerator for quick and easy drinks!
