Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup chopped rhubarb
  • cup sugar
  • splash of vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place the chopped rhubarb and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has broken down and a sauce forms. Stir in the vanilla, if using.
  • Let cool and serve on its own, or on top of ice cream or Greek yogurt.

Notes

You can use any variety of rhubarb that you like for this recipe (green varieties, too). The variety will alter the color. 
Add more or less sugar to your liking. As written, the recipe is sweet enough to eat on its own (it's about as sweet as a homemade applesauce). 
Serving ideas:
  • On its own
  • On top of vanilla ice cream
  • Stirred into Greek yogurt
  • Spooned over pancakes or waffles
  • Swirled into oatmeal
  • On top of pound cake or angel food cake with whipped cream
