Stewed Rhubarb with Peaches and Nectarines

Stewed Rhubarb with Peaches and Nectarines

I decided it was time to finally harvest the rhubarb from my garden.  My rhubarb was green, but what I read online stated it was still safe to harvest.  I stewed my rhubarb and added fresh peaches and nectarines for a fun summer twist.
