Equipment

Ingredients

4 cups rhubarb diced
½ cup water
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

In a large saucepan, stir together the diced rhubarb, water, granulated sugar, and salt over medium-high heat.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has broken down and reached your desired thickness.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract (if using). Allow the sauce to cool completely at room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container for refrigeration.
