Ingredients
4 cups rhubarb, chopped*
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups water
Instructions
Combine all in a medium sized pot and bring to boil.
Simmer 10-15 minutes, until rhubarb is soft and loses its color.
Strain through fine mesh strainer. Do not push on solids or you will create a sludgy syrup.
FOR THE COMPOTE: The leftover solids in the strainer keep for about a month in the fridge. I use it as a wonderful topping for Greek yogurt.
FOR THE SYRUP: Store the syrup in a tightly-capped jar for up to a 1 month in the fridge. Use to flavor sparkling water for a rhubarb soda or use for cocktails.
Notes
* If you have green and red streaked rhubarb, your syrup will be pink (like mine in the photos). If you are blessed with ruby red rhubarb, your simple syrup will reflect that.
