Am cooking rhubarb for first time. I followed what you did with a tiny pinch of salt, small cinnamon and clove to it. Loved the taste. Thanks for the recipe.

[@mrkitchentv]

Sounds lovely and well done!! I made a batch just last night. Delicious!!

[@stephenfindlaythedancingba8515]

I did this, and it turned out perfectly. I have a small rhubarb patch, and was wanting to stew some for dessert garnishes. Thanks for the easy instruction

[@mrkitchentv]

Nice one Stephen!! Thanks for watching

[@marykelly9698]

I just bought my first bunch of rhubarb and going to try your method, thank you from dublin Ireland

[@mrkitchentv]

Wonderful! Welcome to the world of rhubarb Mary!! I made a batch of this just last night. Thank you from Australia.

Yummy, rhubarb in season right now in the UK....I love the combo of cold custard/hot rhubarb or cold rhubarb/hot custard 👍😜

[@mrkitchentv]

Absolutely!!!

[@mrkitchentv]

Excellent idea

[@elusivespirit2959]

I was fascinated that you didn't add water and will definitely try this way. I always put my cooked rhubarb into a raspberry jelly and set it.

[@mrkitchentv]

Yep, turns out it has what it needs already!

[@jimmymullen7825]

Excellent...used that recipe today...thanks........

👍🏻 easy instruction to follow and taste good.

[@mrkitchentv]

Nice one Marlon. Sure does taste right huh.

[@vanessaeden8174]

I wash the rhubarb first cut it up put in the saucepan with some cold water on it. Bring to the boil then add a couple of tablespoons of caster sugar. Turn it down to simmer until nice a gloopy. Never burnt mine Mr Kitchen. Thanks for sharing though.

[@mrkitchentv]

Hey thanks for leaving a comment Vanessa, sounds lovely. As it happens, this specific technique demonstrates how rhubarb contains all the water it needs to stew successfully with... a touch of patience. Otherwise, we may go through life doing things like adding water because, well, we never really knew or wondered why. Research is funny like that. It provides us with an informed personal choice to deploy. But!!! I`m pleased to know you have never burned it by covering it with extra water you clever rhubarb cooker, you!!

How much sugar? And it is castor sugar or ordinary sugar. Love it thank you 👍

a cup of any sugar to one bunch of rhubarb ( assuming one bunch weighs about 500g)

THANKS GREAT VIDEO I LOVE THEM SIMPLE AND SWEET

[@mrkitchentv]

Leanne Evans You`re welcome. Thanks for your comment!!

[@Annie1962]

vanilla eh? I didn't know adding sugar before cooking stops the watering down. Awesome thank you, I am assuming you got the rhubarb from either Coles or Woolies in that standard bunch size.

[@mrkitchentv]

A vegetable in disguise indeed! This just illustrates how sugar pulls adequate moisture from the rhubarb, as opposed to adding extra water to stew without it catching.

[@geoffpriestley7001]

I put a knob of butter in with it just adds to the smoothness

[@mrkitchentv]

Butter is the "Barry White" of the ingredient world...

[@samritperdrix8495]

Anything else can be made from rhubarb which doesn’t have sugar? I can’t eat sugar :(

[@mrkitchentv]

Hey Nix, Rhubarb is lovely finely shaved in salads too, amongst other salad leaves it would substitute a bitter leaf like rocket or radicchio. One would use a mandolin slicer so its paper thin, then soak in chilled water to firm up and curl. Good luck!

[@mathewsmevz2047]

Has it gotta be caster sugar or can u use normal white ?

[@mrkitchentv]

Any sugar you have will do the trick.

Wartime situation here in the UK. Rhubarb ready to harvest. Know what I'd like to try - Rhubarb curry. Anything up your sleeve for that? Rhubarb Tikka Masala...Cheers

[@mrkitchentv]

I like your war time thinking Craig... peel and poach short batons in a spiced (star anise/ cardamom/cassia /pepper ) light sugar syrup - quite savoury - and be on the ready - they pass perfection rapidly. Cool and stir through a hot sour curry base. Can you source proteins ect home delivery??? Social distance for the win

[@craigfishcake2543]

@@mrkitchentv Thanks I'll let you know how that goes. Yesterday I got 700g of rhubarb stalk, and used a cup of demerara sugar. It's too sweet for me, but still edible. I like the tip of leaving the sugar on for half an hour before heating, and you could do this on the smallest supply of heat. I've done gooseberries the same way too, you don't need any sugar at all for those. Thanks again.

[@rebeccajoyce232]

Thank you 😊

You're welcome!

I like rhubarb ginger and apple crumble.

[@mrkitchentv]

Rhubarb is underrated huh?!!

[@albertus7516]

I stand corrected! I gradually had to add more sugar. I had a early spring rhubarb that might be a little more better than the average? Anyway thanks for the nice recipe I loved it PS the cloves gave a nice subtle boost! Albertus

[@mrkitchentv]

Nice one Ablertus. Every recipe is open for interpretation! Its a really satisfying aspect of cooking. Clove loves fruit, it really is underrated. Sounds like your Rhubarb is thriving.

[@andynonymous6769]

Wow cloves with this sounds amazing

[@somerandomguy3313]

gDay Mate!!

[@mrkitchentv]

g'day mate! Haha KZbin offered to "translate to english" your comment..

[@purewater3177]

thanks for this xx

[@robertkat]

I dont eat any sugar of any kind, what can I do?

[@mrkitchentv]

peeled apples or chopped ripe strawberries will provide a great alternative. I would grate two apples into the chopped rhubarb, stir through and set over a very low heat with a lid on. The lid will provide the steam required to prevent initial sticking. once it has softened - just a few minutes I estimate - you could proceed without the lid as per video. A delicious combo with natural yoghurt!! Good luck!! I`ll make some now too. MK

[@bngt1dy816]

Cheers dude x

[@mrkitchentv]

You can also add custard, did you know that?

[@mrkitchentv]

Like Creme Plombieres!!

[@Dboss74]

how do you make a rhubarb crumble?

[@mrkitchentv]

A basic crumble mixture is baked on top of this recipe. Mix together rolled oats, coconut and brown sugar with some melted salted butter and a bit of flour. It should resemble a crumbly biscuit dough. Cover the cold stewed rhubarb and bake it @170C until golden brown. You`ll need some chantilly cream to go with: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z16khaqKq551p68

Kristin McCallister hey Kristin, Per bunch, try about a cup of sugar. You can add more later if required. Remember to set aside before you cook! Pop it on a low heat and stir a couple of times.

Trying LESS sugar. Perhaps vanilla, cinnamon and a pinch of clove. Thanks

definitely reduce the sugar to suit your needs.

Amazing way how to turn a healthy vegetable into unhealthy piece of trash, love it 😍😍

Sugar alternatives like setiva will also work well to suit individual dietary needs

[@jamesd.2856]

Holy heck! that is a lot of sugar. How about adding fresh apples instead?

[@mrkitchentv]

Apples are no angel in the sugar department either James!! But sure, I would think a couple of apples grated in would get the job done.

[@lennieblanco6212]

don't eat sugar what else

[@mrkitchentv]

I recommend powdered setiva - this dry product will draw the required moisture from the rhubarb prior to cooking. Good luck!

[@lennieblanco6212]

[@mrkitchentv]

Cool, use whatever you sub refined sugar with. Sounds like a great alternative.

[@TheSherminator111]

No need to be waiting 30 minutes lol if you pull it from the garden rinse it quick chop it up, stick a lid on it for the first 5 minutes its never going to burn, that was an absurd amount of sugar aswell. 1/3 cup of sugar is all you need for the bit of rubarb. Just add more sugar to taste.

[@mrkitchentv]

I make everyone look like a genius, Alan Thomas, thats a known fact. Tell the dummies like me out there; what does "the bit" of rhubarb weigh compared to 1/3 cup of sugar?
