Stewed Rhubarb

Take some thick stalks of rhubarb, cut them into pieces about one and one-half inches long, and plunge them into a vessel of fast-boiling water. At the end of three minutes' time, when they should be tender, drain off the water, and serve the rhubarb with a liberal sprinkling of white sifted sugar on it.
