Sugar Free Stewed Rhubarb image

I don't eat white sugar so substituted Erythritol for the sugar. Erythritol is an all natural sweetener made from plants. 1 cup of Erythritol equals 2/3 cups of sugar. I found this was fine in this recipe. The rhubarb isn't sweet but it's no longer tart either.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lb fresh rhubarb
1 c erythritol or xylitol
1/8 c filtered water
1 pinch sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and clean the rhubarb.
  • 2. Cut the rhubarb into 1" pieces.
  • 3. Add the rhubarb to a medium saucespan and turn on the heat to medium high. Add the water.
  • 4. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  • 5. Add the sweetener and the pinch of salt.
  • 6. Stir it for a few minutes. When you feel the rhubarb is soft enough for your tastes take off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes.
  • 7. You can store this in a glass canning jar in the fridge. It goes good with ice cream, custard or on toast which is my favourite.
  • 8. Enjoy!
