Rhubarb
2 tsp. baking soda (approx.)

Cut rhubarb into the size chunks you prefer. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons baking soda on top depending on amount of rhubarb.

Prepare a kettle of boiling water to cover the rhubarb and let it set until it gets cold. Drain. Rinse well with cold water until all of soda is removed. Cook or use as usual. We like a package of strawberry Jello dissolved in the hot rhubarb after it is cooked as a sauce.
