Rhubarb Compote

I often make a thick crème anglaise to serve with this compote, though it is delightful all on its own.
Recipe information
Yield
Makes 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
6 pounds of rhubarb, peeled, diced
1/4 cup water
2 cups sugar
Preparation
Place the rhubarb and the water in a heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium-high heat. Bring the water to a boil, stir, cover the pot and cook until the rhubarb is beginning to soften and give up its liquid, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar, cover partially and continue cooking until the rhubarb is completely melted and soft, checking it from time to time to be sure it isn't sticking to the bottom of the pan, about 40 minutes. Remove the compote from the heat and let cool before serving.
