- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Chop the rhubarb into small cubes, enough for 2 cups.
- In a saucepan, stir together the rhubarb and the sugar over low heat. Once it starts to to bubble, cook for about 10 minutes until the rhubarb is broken down and the juices have slightly thickened, mashing with the back of your spoon (exact timing depends on the size of the rhubarb and heat level).
