We love rhubarb! This was served over pound cake and it got a lot of ooohs and ahhhs! Very easy to make. Just sweet enough. Next time I will double the recipe and have some ready in the fridge. Seems like we always have a lot of rhubarb go to waste I'm thinking this would freeze nicely too! Thanks Chris, good recipe!

My toddler LOVES stewed rhubarb. And this is always a good reliable way of making it. We like it with vanilla icecream.

Very nice - but not sure it needed the lemon juice. The kids loved it with some crushed ginger snap cookes on top.
