Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 800 g rhubarb (1.7 lb)
  • 200 g granulated sugar (7 oz/ 1 cup, Note 1)
  • 800 g apples (1.7 lb, Note 2)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instruction

  • Rhubarb: Wash and chop the rhubarb stalks. Place them in a large bowl, add the sugar and mix well. Let it sit for one hour until a syrup forms at the bottom of the bowl. Stir a couple of times during this time.
  • Apples: Peel and core the apples. Cut them into small pieces.
  • Combine: Place the rhubarb and all the released liquid, apples, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a large pot. Stir well to combine.
  • Cook: Bring to a boil and turn down the heat. Place a lid on top but leave a crack open. Simmer for 8-10 minutes on medium-low heat until the rhubarb breaks down, and the apple pieces are softer. Remove the lid during the last 2-3 minutes of the cooking time.
