Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Rhubarb Butter
  1. Begin by washing and thoroughly drying the fresh rhubarb stalks. Chop the rhubarb into small, even pieces—about half an inch thick.
  2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the rhubarb with sugar and let it sit for about 10 minutes over low heat.
  3. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally for about 20 minutes until creamy and slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and let the rhubarb butter cool for about 10 minutes before transferring into sterilized jars.
  5. Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

Use fresh rhubarb for best flavor, and consider taste testing before jarring to adjust sweetness and tartness as needed. Properly sterilize jars to prevent spoilage.
