How to Make Rhubarb Sauce
Start by gathering the following ingredients:
- 1 pound of chopped rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jam (raspberry jam can be substituted)
Instructions:
- Simmer the rhubarb and sugar for about 10 minutes, until tender.
- Stir in the cinnamon and jam.
How to Serve It
This is a fruit compote, and although you can eat it right off a spoon, we like it best served with something. You can serve it warm or chilled with ice cream, pound cake, yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes/waffles, and more.
Our favorite way to enjoy it is spooned over vanilla ice cream and topped with crushed graham crackers or biscoff cookies.
Stay well. I will see you back here soon.
