Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cleaning and trimming the rhubarb stalks, then cut them into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
  2. In a medium saucepan, mix the prepared rhubarb pieces with the measured sugar and lemon juice. Set to medium-low heat and gently stir.
  3. Cook for about 12-15 minutes until rhubarb is tender yet holds shape, and mixture becomes fragrant.
  4. Stir in grated ginger during the last minute of cooking, then remove from heat and add vanilla extract and sea salt.
  5. Allow sauce to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a clean jar; refrigerate until ready to serve.
