1/4 cup water
sugar, (for addtional sweetening if necessary)

Clean 1 pound of rhubarb and cut into 3/4 to 1 inch pieces. This should produce approximately 3 cups of rhubarb.
Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir until sugar has dissolved. Add the rhubarb and bring sauce back to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered until rhubarb is crisp-tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Taste to see if sauce is the desired sweetness. If it requires additional sugar, add 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time and bring sauce back to a boil to be sure sugar dissolves.
Remove from the heat when sauce is at desired sweetness. Serve warm or cold. The sauce can be eaten on its own or it can be served as a topping on other food, such as cake, ice cream, pancakes, and waffles.

"I made this sauce a couple of weeks ago. I added a couple more tablespoons of sugar because I don't like sour things. We had it as an ice cream topping and it was delicious. My kids won't eat it but I had my mom and dad try it and they both really liked it. My dad wanted me to give the recipe to Mom."

"I wasn't sure I would like rhubarb prepared like this but I used brown sugar rather than white sugar and it was great. We ate it over angel food cake."
