sugar free stewed rhubarb

I don't eat white sugar so substituted Erythritol for the sugar. Erythritol is an all natural sweetener made from plants. 1 cup of Erythritol equals 2/3 cups of sugar. I found this was fine in this recipe. The rhubarb isn't sweet but it's no longer tart either.

How To Make sugar free stewed rhubarb

  • Step 1
    Wash and clean the rhubarb.
  • Step 2
    Cut the rhubarb into 1" pieces.
  • Step 3
    Add the rhubarb to a medium saucespan and turn on the heat to medium high. Add the water.
  • Step 4
    Cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Add the sweetener and the pinch of salt.
  • Step 6
    Stir it for a few minutes. When you feel the rhubarb is soft enough for your tastes take off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes.
  • Step 7
    You can store this in a glass canning jar in the fridge. It goes good with ice cream, custard or on toast which is my favourite.
  • Step 8
    Enjoy!
