Sugar-Free Rhubarb Compote (Stewed Rhubarb)

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

4 cups rhubarb, (chopped)

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup maple syrup

Directions

Wash fresh rhubarb stalks and remove the leaves (which are toxic.) Chop into pieces about 1/2 to 3/4 inch long.

Place the rhubarb and 1/2 cup water in a medium pot over medium heat. (NOTE: if you're using frozen rhubarb, you may not need to add any water at all.)

Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer. Stir in the sweetener and simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes.

The rhubarb will begin to break down on its own, or you can use a wooden spoon or a potato masher to break it up a little.

Once it has thickened to your liking, it's done!
