Ingredients

  • 1 pound rhubarb trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch chunks
  • 3/4 cup vanilla sugar or 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 vanilla bean paste or 1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
  • 1 large lemon juiced
  • 1 inch pied ginger root

Instructions

  • In a medium sized baking sheet add in the cut rhubarb. Toss it with the vanilla sugar, a couple pinches of kosher salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Squeeze in the juice of a whole lemon, toss and place in a preheated 350 degree oven and roast for 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove and let cool.
  • Peel an inch piece of fresh ginger and place it in a garlic press. Squeeze gently over a bowl to catch the juices. Pour the ginger juice, about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoons, through a mesh strainer to catch any ginger solids and discard. Stir and break up any large pieces of rhubarb.
  • Serve as is over angel food cake or cheese cake. Or blend until slightly smooth and chunky for more of an apple-butter consistency.
