STEWED RHUBARB WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• If your fruit is sweet you may need no sugar, or less sugar. Try to use as little as possible, depending on how sweet your fruit is.
• Mix together the rhubarb and pineapple chunks and sprinkle with sugar (if using). Let sit at least one hour to overnight, to allow juices from the fruit to collect. (Sugar helps to make more juices, so if the fruit isn't very sweet, you will need sugar to get the juices to come out of the fruit.).
• Cook over medium heat until sugar disappears and rhubarb has softened (about 15 minutes or so).
• Allow to cool.
• Eat with yogurt, ice cream, whipped topping, toast, oatmeal, or by itself. Yum!
