Ingredients

32 oz rhubarb (frozen and defrosted)
8 oz granulated sugar (1 cup )

Instructions

In a food processor, puree the defrosted rhubarb for 4-5 minutes until it looks like applesauce. Strain the rhubarb through cheesecloth to remove the fiber. You should get 2 1/2 cups (20 oz, 600ml) juice. Any extra juice can be saved for another purpose or frozen. If you have less than 2 1/2 cups make up the difference with water.
Combine the rhubarb juice and sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium high until the sugar is completely melted.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate until the mix is very cold, at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
Run in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's directions. (See note if you don't have an ice cream machine)
Pack into a plastic container, cover the surface with plastic wrap, cover and freeze overnight

Notes

If you don't have an ice cream maker you can turn the mix into a granita. Pour the mix into a flat metal pan, like a 13x9 brownie pan. Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes. Use a fork to stir the mixture and scrape any ice that formed around the edges of the mix. Repeat every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until you have a fluffy, scoopable texture made up of small ice crystals.
