Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 stalks rhubarb
  • 1 c orange juice
  • 1 c strawberries quartered
  • 1/2 t vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Trim, wash, and chop rhubarb.
  2. Place rhubarb and juice in a small heavy pan. Bring to a boil, and keep at a rolling simmer for 20 minutes, to reduce the juice as well as cook the rhubarb.
  3. Add strawberries, continue cooking another 15 minutes.
  4. Let cool 15 minutes (or longer) then stir in vanilla.
  5. Chill, and let flavors meld, before using.

Notes

Use the sour/sweet sauce over waffles or hot cereal, with ice cream or other sweets, or with bland savory dishes that could use a punch of flavor.
