Description
Candied Rhubarb Ribbons are a sweet treat made from thinly sliced rhubarb, cooked in a sugary syrup until tender and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rhubarb, thinly sliced into ribbons
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, add the rhubarb ribbons to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Simmer the rhubarb for about 10-15 minutes, or until the ribbons are tender but still hold their shape.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the rhubarb ribbons to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer.
- Allow the rhubarb to cool completely at room temperature, then let it dry for at least 2 hours.
- Once dried, the candied rhubarb can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider infusing the syrup with spices like cinnamon or ginger while simmering.
- Use the candied rhubarb as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, or pancakes for a delightful twist.
