Can you cook rhubarb with no sweetener?

If the rhubarb is ‘forced’ I might drizzle a bit of honey over and roast it. Once it’s grown into big sticks, sweetener is essential (to me).

I bake it in the oven, makes it sweeter.

I definitely add sugar, unsweetened makes my eyes water! Cook all together then divide add sweetner to yours and leave your husbands as is. Delicious rhubarb it’s just the best isn’t it.

I sometimes cook it in a wee drop of fruit juice ,either apple or orange works .

I add a tiny amount of unrefined sugar when I cook rhubarb with a little water in a saucepan. Dh insists I should cook it with no added sugar or sweetener of any kind. I’ve told him it will be too tart and take the roof off his mouth! Still he insists. I know I wouldn’t be able to eat it. Maybe I’ll just do some without sugar just for him. (Pulls face). I’d be interested to know, however, if any one else has done this as we ‘argue’ about it.
