1

Prepare the rhubarb

Wash and trim 2 pounds of fresh rhubarb. Cut them into 1-inch chunks.

2

Simmer the rhubarb and sugar

In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb chunks with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Let it simmer over medium heat until the rhubarb is soft and the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally. This should take about 10-15 minutes.

3

Blend and strain the mixture

Transfer the rhubarb mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Then, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits.

4

Add rum and lemon juice

Pour 1/2 cup of rum and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice into the rhubarb mixture. Stir well to combine.

5

Chill and freeze

Cover the rhubarb mixture and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, usually for about 2 hours. Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn it into sorbet. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow pan and freeze it, stirring every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours until it reaches a sorbet consistency.

6

Enjoy the sorbet

Scoop the Ruby Red Rhubarb Rum sorbet into bowls or cones. Serve it as a refreshing treat on its own or pair it with some fresh berries for an extra burst of flavor!
