  • Line a strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth, set over a bowl, and strain mixture. Gently press on rhubarb with a wooden spoon to squeeze out any remaining juice. It should yield about 2 cups of liquid. Discard pulp or save for another use.

  • Return liquid to the saucepan over medium heat and stir in an equal amount of sugar Heat until sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Skim any foam from the top of the syrup. Let cool.

Cook's Notes:

Four cups of chopped rhubarb is about 5 to 6 thin stalks.

If you like things a little less sweet like I do, use 1 1/2 cups of sugar instead of 2.

Instead of discarding the pulp, I like to sweeten it with a bit of sugar and eat it on top of yogurt or oatmeal.
