Cinnamon-Spiced Stewed Rhubarb

Cinnamon-Spiced Stewed Rhubarb simmers tart rhubarb with sugar until it softens into a glossy, sweet-tangy compote. A hint of warm cinnamon rounds out the acidity, making it perfect for spooning over yogurt, pancakes, ice cream, or pound cake. Serve it warm or chilled for breakfast, dessert, or a vibrant springtime topping.

Cinnamon-Spiced Stewed Rhubarb
  1. 1

    Put the rhubarb in a large pot and add enough water to nearly cover it. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a medium simmer and cook until it begins to break down, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Take off the heat; stir in the sugar and cinnamon until the sugar is dissolved. Serve hot or cold.
