Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce

What is it about 2 lbs of rhubarb that makes me giddy? I love, love, LOVE strawberry rhubarb sauce, and it's hard to skip an opportunity to make it!

Many recipes out there use a lot of sugar in the sauce, some even have you add food coloring. Personally I think that adding food coloring to rhubarb sauce is silly, you get such a great color already from the strawberries!

Rhubarb Sauce Ingredients

• 2lbs rhubarb, cleaned and chopped. (I use fresh)
  
• 2lbs strawberries (frozen is fine.)
  
• 0.5 cup sugar (to taste)
• 1/2 c water
  
• if you want it to thicken more, some
  

Instructions

• wash rhubarb, cut stalks into 1 inch long pieces.
  
• cut frozen strawberries in half (You don't really have to do this. If you cook the sauce long enough the strawberries will turn into sauce readily. I tend to just cut the really big ones )
  
• Put into a pot with half a cup of water.
  
• Bring to a simmer over low-mid heat (covered)
  
  
  
• Cook until the rhubarb is tender (~30 min)
  
• Add 1/2 cup raw agave nectar
  
  
  
• to thicken, simmer uncovered and/or add a little corn starch
  
  
  

Let it cool enough until you can eat it. Enjoy!

Yum!
