1¹⁄₂ qts. prepared rhubarb
³⁄₄ cup water
2 cups sugar
Wash the stalks, pare them if old, cut them into one-inch pieces and put
them, with the sugar and water, into a two quart cooker-pail. When
boiling, set the pail in a cooker for from one to three hours or more,
depending upon the character of the rhubarb. Some people prefer to use
brown sugar with rhubarb.
Serves eight or ten persons.
