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.

This is the same as my mother used to make and I think she was shown how by her mother.......a real old tried & true recipe. I served mine with recipe#238798. A nice finish to our dinner. Thanks for posting this real 'keeper' :)

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

My Dad is 85, and grew up on stewed rhubarb. Unfortunately though, the two women in my family who made it -- my mother and grandmother -- took their secrets to the grave several years ago. On whim though, I decided to try this recipe for him, so he could enjoy his favorite again. And I'm happy to say he LOVES IT! I'm so happy to be able to do this for hm (Me, I can't stand the stuff LOL!). Thank you!
