Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 cups raw rhubarb stalks (no peel), cut off leaves and ends, chopped into 1-inch chunks (about 1 pound)

• 1/2 to 2/3 cup white sugar (pick how sweet you like)

• 1 teaspoon real vanilla

Slow Cooker Rhubarb Treat: Directions

1. Rinse rhubarb under cool water. Pat dry. Cut off leafy tops and dry ends. Chop into 1-inch pieces. Keep the skin on—it gives pretty color and good taste.

2. Put rhubarb pieces in a flat layer at the bottom of your slow cooker.

3. Sprinkle sugar all over. Drizzle vanilla on top. Stir gently so sugar and vanilla mix in, but rhubarb stays mostly on bottom.

4. Put on the lid. Cook on LOW for 3-4 hours, or HIGH for 1 1/2-2 hours. Rhubarb gets super soft and makes lots of juice—like thick pie filling.

5. Take off lid (watch hot steam!). Stir to smash big chunks. Taste it. Add more sugar if you want it sweeter, and stir till it melts.

6. Leave uncovered in warm cooker 5-10 minutes to get a bit thicker. Serve hot with toppings. Keep leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge up to 4 days.
