Embark on a culinary journey with this Zesty Orange-Braised Rhubarb recipe! The tangy rhubarb, gently stewed to tender perfection, is beautifully balanced by the vibrant fragrance of fresh orange zest. This dessert is a true celebration of spring when rhubarb is at its peak. It's a classic British dish, often served with custard or cream, but it's just as delightful on its own.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Rhubarb stalks
4 cups, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
Granulated sugar
1 cup
Orange
1, zested and juiced
Water
1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash the rhubarb stalks. Trim the ends, then cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the cut rhubarb, granulated sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and water.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low. Allow the rhubarb to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until it becomes tender and the mixture thickens slightly to a syrup-like consistency.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the braised rhubarb cool slightly.
  6. Serve the braised rhubarb warm or chill it in the refrigerator before serving. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.
