Rhubarb Cordial/Syrup

I have a very active rhubarb patch that was planted earlier this year. So to stop the rhubarb taking over the dead bed at the front of the house I cut it back. What do you do with 575g of VERY fresh organic rhubarb? Why make cordial of course.

so 575g of Rhubarb washed and cut into chunks. 300g of sugar and 1.25L of water into a nice big pot. Bring to a boil and then very slowly simmer, stirring ocassionally for 15 minutes. Strain through muslin into a bowl to cool. Once cool pour into sports bottle with ladle and store in fridge. Makes about 750ml of thickish soft pink liquid that is really nice in cold water.
