01
Step 1
Start by combining the rhubarb, water, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Once it comes to a boil, give it a stir now and then. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and starts to break down—this usually takes about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the honey and keep cooking for another couple of minutes until the mixture thickens a bit. Then, take it off the heat.

Step 2
Next, get five jars ready and line them up. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the rhubarb mixture into the bottom of each jar. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cracker crumbs on top, followed by about two-thirds of a cup of yogurt. Repeat by adding another layer of the rhubarb and cracker crumbs over the yogurt. Finish off each jar with a tablespoon of crushed walnuts. Seal the jars and pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy.

How to serve
Serve these parfaits chilled with a sprinkle of granola or chopped nuts on top for added crunch. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can enhance the sweetness if desired. They also pair nicely with fresh berries or a side of whole-grain toast.
Storage & leftovers
Store the parfaits in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep any granola or crunchy toppings separate until ready to serve to maintain their texture. Give the parfait a gentle stir before eating if the layers settle.
