If your rhubarb is too tart add about 1/2 teaspoon of bi-carb soda to the cooking water. This takes away the tart taste. You may need more - it depends on the quantity you're cooking. This was a tip from my aunt in New Zealand. Her father grew amazing rhubarb.

I always cook my rhubarb in lemonade, that way there is no need to add sugar and it isn't so tart.
