Brown-sugar Brandy Rhubarb
4 c. sliced rhubarb
½ c. or more brown sugar
4 Tbsp. tapioca
¼ or more brandy
Mix all in top of double boiler. Place 2 inches of water in bottom of double boiler and place top pan on top of bottom pan. Heat water in bottom of double boiler until steam comes out from between the two pots. (Tapioca and fruit will have a chance to sit for enough time while water heats up before tapioca and fruit start to cook.) Turn down heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes. You can stir before serving but if you don’t stir, the rhubarb stays in distinct pieces.
