Ingredients

  • 500 g rhubarb (1.1 lb)
  • 2 dl cane sugar (Regular sugar can also be used) (1 cup)
  • 1 liter water (1/4 gal)

Instructions

  • Clean and rinse the rhubarb thoroughly and cut them into smaller pieces.
  • Mix the rhubarb, sugar and water in a saucepan and heat it up to boiling point. Continue boiling for approximately 15 minutes.
  • Pour the rhubarb, sugar and water mix through a strainer down into a large bowl. In this step it is difficult to extract all the pulp using only the strainer. If you want a completely clean juice you can use a tea towel (or similar) as a strainer. Use a spoon to squeeze out the last juice from the rhubarb.
  • Clean some bottles using boiling water to make sure they are completely clean and that all bacteria are gone. This will extend the shelf life. Pour the concentrated juice on the bottles and keep them refrigerated.
  • When serving the juice simply mix the concentrated juice with water or sparkling water in the ratio 1-4. Of cause this can be adjusted as you like.

        You should expect about 3 weeks.

    Could this be canned to make it self stable?

      If you make sure to clean the bottle with very hot water to kill bacteria then i think it is self stable.

        Proper canning guidelines must be followed for safety and shelf stability. See Ball Blue Book for canning instructions and safety precautions.

      Hi. Of course the sugar is not healthy but I would not call this an unhealthy drink.

    Thanks, I was looking for some general proportions. I'm going to add the sugar after cooking and straining--just so what's gone for waste isn't sweetened. I'll start with a bit less sugar and see if that works, too. I think the sparkling water will make a great beverage.

    I would suggest boiling water bath canning these = use sterilized pint jars, and once they are full of juice and sealed, put into a BWB canner (be sure the lids are covered ) and boil for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let them sit in the canner for 5 - 10 minutes, then put the jars on a cloth covered board and let cool. They should 'pop' and seal - and then will be shelf stable for a LONG time. Not using the Boiling Water Bath 10 minutes is dangerous if you intend to put the jars on your shelf. OK for a couple of weeks in the fridge

    CAN YOU FREEZE THIS JUICE IF SO HOW LONG

      I've never tried to freeze it. However, I can only imagine that it will work. My guess is that you can freeze it for about 2-3 months.

    Rhubarb juice is fantastic in summer. I freeze it in a plastic bottle, usually enough to last for 2 - 3 weeks. When I am on the road it defrosts very slowly and you sip it. It is refreshing on a hot day. My recipe includes, rhubarb, little bit of sugar, and I add cherry or raspberry syrup for color and taste. Do not use much syrup due to sugar content. Without freezing it I make 3 - 4 liters and it lasts me 7 to 10 days in the fridge.

      That's a great tip - freezing the rhubarb in bottles and letting defrost over several hours on long trips. I'll make sure to remember that for the hot summers :-) Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)

        Try an ice cube tray for a simple serving size

    Hi Kim
    Just for your information I didn't strain mine I whisked it in the saucepan which gave the juice more body.
    Also with regards to freezing, I froze the leftover juice and stirred it every hour or so and was left with the most refreshing sorbet ever. Many many thanks.

    Should I expect this recipe to be syrupy or watery? I was wondering because most concentrated juices are syrupy. Also, will the juice be sweet enough? I am using the 200 grams sugar but I am not sure if it will be sweet enough because rhubarb had quite a sharp flavour. Thanks.

      The concentrate is water-like and not that thick. I hope it makes sense. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)

    Also- any ideas on how you can use the leftover pulp? I don't want to waste it, because it smells so good and I know it will be useful! Thanks!

    A simple but good cipie. I used 5 big stalks of rhubarb, 3 spoons of sugarand filled the little pot i have with water ( almost 1 l).
    I loved it. Pure as well as mixed with sparkling water.
    It was the perfect round up for our family for eastern.
    Thank you for sharing.
