Homestead Kitchen Tips
- Fresh or frozen rhubarb both work well in this recipe.
- Green rhubarb varieties may produce a lighter-colored syrup than red varieties.
- For additional flavor, simmer with a slice of fresh ginger, a vanilla bean, or a strip of orange zest.
- Avoid pressing the pulp too aggressively if you prefer a clearer syrup.
