Ginger and Orange Rhubarb

Rhubarb is now in season and at its best. I think it's best cooked really simply, and it is delicious with ginger. I have had it cooked this way ever since I was a child.

Ingredients:

• four stalks rhubarb
• thumb-sized knob of ginger, chopped very fine
• quarter of a pint of orange juice
• between half and one cup of sugar (to taste)

Directions:

Cut the rhubarb into short pieces, sprinkle with sugar and chopped ginger, then pour on orange juice and stew gently on a low heat until soft (about half an hour). Delicious with cream or vanilla ice cream.
