Rhubarb simple syrup directions
Combine rhubarb, sugar, and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is soft and the liquid has thickened slightly, about 20 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly, then carefully pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass jar. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to push gently and get as much syrup through as possible. Allow the syrup to cool completely before covering and storing in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
