Servings: 3 cups
Ingredients
- 6 cups chopped rhubarb

- 1 orange zested
- 1 orange juiced
- 4 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Chop enough rhubarb into very small pieces to equal approximately 6 cups**
- Place the rhubarb in a medium sized pot with the water and maple syrup. Bring liquid to a low simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until rhubarb has softened and liquid starts to be absorbed, approximately 10 minutes.

Notes
I get really excited whenever I see rhubarb at the market and often buy up the whole lot. Unfortunately, that means I also forget to weigh how much rhubarb I'm buying. That said, if you don't have exactly 6 cups, no biggie.
