Meet your new favorite dessert sauce. No joke. This Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce is THAT good. I am about to finish the 16 oz. jar I made over the weekend all by myself. I seriously cannot stop! I am hiding it away from my husband, because I want it all to myself. Jokes. No, not really. 😉 But I am oh-so tempted.
I have been adding it to ice-cream, to fruits, to frozen treats, to brownies… the possibilities are endless with this little fella. It’s magical.
I have been sort of obsessed with strawberries lately. I’ll eat them by themselves, in salads, in smoothies, etc. I mostly like the large red ones, not the little ones without color. I don’t know what it is about this berry that’s spinning my world round and round. You’d think I was pregnant. But I am not! Weird, right? Especially since I have never really cared about strawberries.
The great thing is that strawberries are packed with Vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber, making them a fantastic all-natural ingredient. Another great thing, is that this food item has no sodium, no fats, no cholesterol, and is very low in calories. I have scored the next best thing, haven’t I?
Give this sauce a try, friends. You will not regret it!
- 4 rhubarb stalks
- 2 lb strawberries
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup filtered water
- Pinch of sea salt
- Remove end of rhubarb, especially the leaves since they can be poisonous when consumed, and slice into ½” pieces.
- Hull strawberries and cut them in quarters.
- Add rhubarb, strawberries, honey/maple syrup, water, and sea salt to a saucepan. Place saucepan over high heat and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally and cook for about 8 minutes, or until rhubarb breaks down. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Use right away or refrigerate in a tight lid jar until ready to use.
