I tried adding the orange juice with a little of the orange zest without the cinnamon. Really good!

One quarter to one half cup of water, cover and simmer, suffices to draw all the water from the fruit into the pan that you need. Otherwise, you end up with a nice rhubarb BEVERAGE.

I followed your recipe today and it is like rhubarb soup! Way too much water. I am now trying to figure out what I should do with a pot filled with rhubarb flavored water.... I do love stewed rhubarb though, I normally make it with frozen rhubarb... next time I will not put anywhere near the amount of water. I also used only 1/2 cup of brown sugar instead of 3 cups of white. To take the edge off the rhubarb toss in a tablespoon of baking soda.

Very tasty with the addition of cinnamon, though it is definately too sweet. Used 2 1/2 cups of sugar and found it to be to much, will try again and use next time. This is really good over cheap vanilla ice cream (for some reason I think the cheap stuff tastes better with rhubarb!)

So yummy! I just made this and I followed the advice of others to start low on the sugar, taste and adjust. (Of course it tasted so good I was doing more tasting and less adjusting...)I like my rhurarb pretty tangy, and I had added a handful of strawberries, so I only used 1 cup of sugar. I also found that it required way to much water. I had to let my cook for 90 minutes so that it wasn't soupy and was nice and thick.

This is a comfort food for me. Brings back memories of summers at Grandma's and an endless supply of rhubbarb. Instead of adding sugar, I use a few packets of sugar free cherry gelatin-this eliminates the sugar and tastes great!

I'm not sure what happened...I added just under enough water to cover the rhubarb but it is REALLY watery now! I even added cornstarch to try to thicken it but it doesn't seem to be working. I will try this again though.

What a superb recipe, though as several other reviewers pointed out--adjust sugar to personal tastes as rhubarb tends to be 'sweeter' earlier in the year. I used less sugar and added a splash of vanilla at the end.. As suggested by TraceyT--this is wonderful mixed w/ homemade plain yogurt. Thanks for a great idea!
