Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Wash the rhubarb ribs and trim off and discard leaves or imperfections. Cut ribs into pieces 2 to 3 inches long, splitting the larger ribs in half before cutting.

  2. Step 2

    Put in a saucepan with the cider and jam. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and continue to boil gently about 5 minutes; then remove the cover and continue boiling about 10 minutes, uncovered. The rhubarb will shred into pieces. Cool and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and, if desired, poundcake or cookies.

Made half the recipe using my own strawberry preserves. This was so simple and so delicious. Instead of sour cream had some homemade Greek yogurt. Yum! Can't go wrong with a recipe from Chef Pepin!

This is good, but I wish I had made a recipe using just rhubarb and sugar. I'd rather taste the full flavor of the rhubarb; no need to add jam.
