Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups Fresh rhubarb, chopped Look for bright, firm stalks with no signs of wilting.
  • 1 cup Sugar Adjust based on sweetness preference.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice Freshly squeezed provides the best flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the fresh rhubarb stalks thoroughly and chop them into small pieces, about 1-inch in length.
Cooking
  1. Combine the rhubarb, sugar (to taste), and lemon juice in a pot.
  2. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rhubarb is soft and begins to break down.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before blending.
Blending
  1. Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a standard blender to achieve a silky-smooth texture. Blend for about 30 seconds or until fully incorporated.
Storage
  1. Allow the rhubarb butter to cool completely before transferring it into a clean jar. Store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Serve rhubarb butter at room temperature. Consider garnishing with fresh mint or lemon zest for added flair. It can be frozen for up to six months.
