Rhubarb Oatmeal Recipe

I whipped this up for breakfast this morning to enjoy with a strong cup of coffee on the deck in the sun. I had cut the rhubarb yesterday for dessert crumble that never materialized, so this morning I tossed the crumble ingredients into a pot and cooked up this improvised breakfast cereal. 
You will need: 
Fresh rhubarb, water, a handful of large oats, a couple big spoonfuls of sugar (depending on how sour you like your 'barb. 

Chop the rhubarb and cover with water. Toss the oats and sugar on top and stir. Cook at high heat until it is boiling, reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook until the rhubarb is soft and falls apart and the oats are cooked. Spoon into bowls, top with cream or milk and a couple pieces of candied ginger and enjoy!
