RECIPE TIPS
RHUBARB SYRUP
To make a syrup, remove the rhubarb from the liquid, turn the heat up and reduce until you get a syrupy consistency. This tastes great over ice cream.

Lovely simple recipe which brings the best out of lovely Yorkshire rhubarb. Halved the sugar though and it was fine for my taste

Used the exact amount of ingredients and timings and 8 mins was far too long as it was mushy. The syrup was lovely with a sorbet though.

Admittedly I only had 400g of rhubarb, but I only used 50g of sugar and that was plenty. Also I don't think it needed the water and 8 mins way too long, mine was very mushy after 5

Same - didn’t need the water and mushy at 5. I took it off at 6 removed rhubarb and just boiled syrup. I thought 50g was pushing it too - still slightly sweet with the orange juice
