Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g rhubarb stalks
- 1 medium orange orange zest
- 100 ml orange juice
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 50 ml water
Instructions
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut the rhubarb into 2-3 cm pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Add the rhubarb pieces to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is tender but still holds its shape.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, or enjoy it on its own.
