Prepare a jelly strainer bag, or line a colander with a double layer of dampened cheesecloth. Strain rhubarb and collect juice. You should have around 8 cups (4 pints) of juice. Allow the juice to drip until the rhubarb is quite dry, about 1 to ⏱️ 2 hours.

Place extracted rhubarb juice back in a clean saucepan and add sugar (if using). Warm to dissolve sugar. It should be just barely simmering, but do not boil. Remove from heat and skim off foam (if any).
