Preparation

  1. Wash the rhubarb ribs and trim off and discard leaves or imperfections. Cut ribs into pieces 2 to 3 inches long, splitting the larger ribs in half before cutting.
  2. Put in a saucepan with the cider and jam. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and continue to boil gently about 5 minutes; then remove the cover and continue boiling about 10 minutes, uncovered. The rhubarb will shred into pieces. Cool and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and, if desired, poundcake or cookies.
