Ingredients

• 4 cups Rhubarb
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and chop them into small 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rhubarb has completely broken down and the mixture has thickened.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 6

Blend the mixture using an immersion blender, or transfer it to a countertop blender, and blend until smooth. Be cautious as the mixture will still be hot.

Step 7

Return the pureed mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Stir in the vanilla extract and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding a touch more sugar if desired.

Step 9

Allow the rhubarb butter to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar or container.

Step 10

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy as a spread or topping for your favorite dishes!
