Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh (or thawed frozen) rhubarb
  • 9 ounces fresh (or thawed frozen) raspberries

Directions

  1. In a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, bring 1/2 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 pounds fresh (or thawed frozen) rhubarb, sliced into 1-inch-thick pieces, to a simmer. Cook until the rhubarb is tender and starting to fall apart, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
