Cooked rhubarb serves like a red applesauce, a fun variation on a familiar food. See also Rhubarb Cider.
Dice rhubarb stalks into small (1-inch-ish) pieces and put in a pot. Add water nearly to the top of the rhubarb, then cover with a lid and simmer until very soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk the rhubarb into the cooking water to make a red rhubarb sauce. Although rhubarb is commonly sweetened, it can also be served tart, sweetened by its toppings of raisins, banana chunks, and/or diced fruit. Good hot or cold.
