Ingredients

4 cups fresh rhubarb or frozen rhubarb stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
4 whole cloves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Spread rhubarb out in a 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle sugar over top.
Add cinnamon stick and whole cloves.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until rhubarb is tender not totally mushy.
Let stand, covered on wire rack until cooled.
Serve over ice cream, toast, waffles, pancakes, pound cake, etc.

Notes

My cinnamon sticks and whole cloves had been hanging in the cabinet for a while, so I added an extra stick and a couple extra cloves to the recipe.
Be sure to pick out the cloves and whole cinnamon stick before serving. Use fresh chopped rhubarb or rhubarb that has been frozen.
This is a great way to use frozen rhubarb because you are stewing the rhubarb so the final texture isn't a big deal.
If you like a sauce that is a bit more tart than sweet, cut the sugar to 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup. Our family likes a sweeter rhubarb flavor.
