Steps

  • In a saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft and the liquid has thickened.

  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.

  • Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container. Use a spoon to press down on the rhubarb solids to extract as much liquid as possible.

  • Stir in the lemon juice to taste.

  • Store the Ruby Syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
