Place the rhubarb, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice into a medium saucepan. Stir gently to blend all components thoroughly.
02 -
Heat the saucepan over medium-high, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to prevent mixture from sticking to the base.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb becomes translucent, the pieces are easily pierced with a fork, and the syrup is slightly thickened.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the candied rhubarb to cool fully; the syrup will thicken further as it cools. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container and store refrigerated for up to seven days, or freeze for extended storage.
