Stewing rhubarb - how long until it goes soft?

[emkana]

That's it really!
TIA!

Five minutes or so of gentle boiling. It's pretty quick. Don't forget to sugar it heavily. Ginger is nice in there too.

Sorry. Getting carried away now.

or a banana ...

i do considerably more than 5 mins on v low heat, with v little water. orange juice is nice addition and means less sugar.
