Prepare the Rhubarb: Start by washing the rhubarb thoroughly to remove any dirt. Then, chop it into 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.

Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan, place the chopped rhubarb and add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, approximately ½ inch deep.

Simmer: Cover the pan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, or until the rhubarb becomes tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Cool and Serve: Once the rhubarb is tender, remove the pan from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and refrigerate for at least an hour to chill.

Enjoy: Serve your chilled Rhubarb Sauce as a delightful topping for desserts, or enjoy it on its own as a healthy treat.
