Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh rhubarb sliced
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water chilled

Instructions

1. In large saucepan, bring rhubarb, sugar, water and lemon rind to boil over medium-high heat, stirring. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring constantly, until rhubarb breaks up, about 15 minutes. Strain into bowl, for 15-20 minutes-do not press as it will cloud syrup. Let cool. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 1 week.)
