Print Recipe

A fast and fuss-free rhubarb sauce made in the Instant Pot, delivering a bright, tangy flavor perfect for desserts or savory dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chopped rhubarb stalks (fresh and firm; frozen works in a pinch)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice (fresh-squeezed preferred)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop about 4 cups (around 600 grams) of rhubarb stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Pour the chopped rhubarb into the Instant Pot. Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (if using), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using). Stir gently to combine.
  3. Close the lid and set the valve to sealing position. Select ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ and set the timer for 5 minutes on high pressure.
  4. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully quick release any remaining pressure.
  5. Open the lid and stir the sauce gently. For a smoother sauce, press lightly with a potato masher or blend briefly with an immersion blender.
  6. Transfer the sauce to a heatproof container. Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Notes

Use organic rhubarb if possible for less bitterness. Adjust sugar to balance tartness. Natural pressure release is important for texture. For smoother sauce, blend after cooking. Substitute honey or maple syrup for sugar but add after cooking to preserve flavor. Rhubarb juice can stain plastic; use glass containers for storage.
