Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams rhubarb stalks
- 300 grams fresh pineapple
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 ml water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and trim off both ends. Cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
Peel the pineapple and remove the core. Chop the pineapple into small chunks.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, pineapple, sugar, and water.
Place the saucepan on medium heat and stir gently to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft and starting to break down, and the pineapple is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before serving. The stewed rhubarb with pineapple can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
