8 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cups thinly sliced fresh rhubarb
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by gathering and measuring all ingredients. Ensure the rhubarb is washed, trimmed, and thinly sliced for even cooking.
Melt the Butter:
- In a large skillet or saucepan set over high heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquefied but not browned.
Cook the Rhubarb:
- Add the sliced rhubarb to the pan, followed by the granulated sugar. Stir continuously to prevent sticking or burning.
Simmer Until Tender:
- Cook for approximately 5 to 10 minutes, or until the rhubarb has softened and the sauce has thickened slightly. Continue stirring to ensure even consistency.
Serve Warm:
- Once the sauce reaches your desired texture, remove from heat and serve immediately. It pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream, pound cake, yogurt, or waffles.
Notes
This recipe is naturally gluten-free as it does not contain any wheat, barley, or rye. However, to be extra cautious:
- Ensure your butter and sugar are sourced from brands that certify gluten-free status.
- If using rhubarb from a packaged source (like frozen), double-check that there’s no cross-contamination noted on the label.
