• 1 1/2-2 lbs rhubarb
• 1 -1 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons chopped candied ginger
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
• 2 cups whipping cream

Recipe

• 1 trim the ends of the stalk and if more than 1 1/2 inches wide, cut in half lengthwise. cut into 1 inch pieces.
• 2 in a stainless steel pan with a heavy bottom and a tight-fitting lid, combine the rhubarb, gingers and sugar. (no need for water, it will create its own juices). cook over low heat until the rhubarb is tender and falling apart. (or do what i did - throw it all into the rice cooker - i needed two cycles to get it to the right degree of doneness). refrigerate until well chilled.
