Rhubarb Butter | BourbonAndHoney.com

Rhubarb cooked with fresh orange juice and zest until smooth and spreadable. It’s brightly colored and great on ice cream, toast or straight out of the jar.

 

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz chopped rhubarb (about 2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest

Instructions

  1. In a 2-quart heavy bottom skillet stir together all ingredients. Heat to boiling over medium heat. Reduce to low. Simmer, covered about  20 minutes, stirring occasionally until very soft. Mash with a potato masher if necessary, to remove all lumps. Simmer uncovered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no liquid separates from pulp.
  2. If desired, purée the mixture in a blender or food processor for an ultra smooth texture.
  3. Spoon into a glass jar. Let cool, then cap and refrigerate. It will thicken a bit more as it cools.
