Time 15m

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 4

200g washed and sliced rhubarb
4 tbsp white wine vinegar

  • Tip the rhubarb, white wine vinegar and sugar into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins until the rhubarb is tender. Add the butter and blitz in a blender or with a hand blender until smooth.
