Dehydrator: Rhubarb Candy

Harvest rhubarb stalks and clean well. In large pot mix equal parts sugar and water. You’ll need just enough to coat rhubarb. Bring up to almost a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from heat and allow to cool. Meanwhile, prepare your rhubarb. Cut each stalk into pieces 4-5 inches long. Slice each piece lengthwise into thin strips, about 4-5 strips per piece. Once done, submerge rhubarb in simple syrup (it doesn’t need to be completely cool). Coat each piece and then transfer to lined dehydrator trays, evenly spaced and not touching. Dry on the vegetable setting (125 degrees) and dry until the pieces have shrunk by about half and are just slightly flexible. If you want to be fancy, remove them carefully while still warm and twist them around a dowel or your fingers to make it curly. Store in airtight container.
