- 1. Bring 1 cup water and 2 tbs sugar to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often. Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup rosemary leaves; let steep for 5 minutes. Strain syrup into a non-reactive bowl, pressing on rosemary; discard rosemary. Let syrup cool 1 hour.
- 2. Place rhubarb cubes, 1 tbs lemon juice, 1-1/4 cups water and 1/2 cup sugar in blender. Process until coarse puree forms. Strain through fine mesh sieve into medium bowl.
