Ingredients
- 500 grams rhubarb stalks
- 300 grams fresh pineapple
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 ml water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and trim off both ends. Cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
Peel the pineapple and remove the core. Chop the pineapple into small chunks.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, pineapple, sugar, and water.
Step 4
Place the saucepan on medium heat and stir gently to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Step 6
Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft and starting to break down, and the pineapple is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Step 8
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before serving. The stewed rhubarb with pineapple can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Step 9
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
