Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

1kg/2lb rhubarb, cut into 4in/10cm shards
1 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup verjuice
1 vanilla pod, split in half lengthwise
2 fresh bay leaves
Place the sugar, water, vanilla pod and bay leaves into a saucepan large enough to hold all of your ingredients. Place over a gentle heat and cook until the sugar has dissolved and it is gently simmering. Add the rhubarb and poach for 10 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
