I am a bit new to the rhubarb thing. I hadn't even heard of this vegetable/fruit/anomaly until Kevin's family introduced me to Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. It was delicious, but I still wasn't sure what part the rhubarb played in the pie. It seemed like a strange filler to me.
Thankfully, when we were given 15+ stalks of fresh rhubarb from a friend's garden, my husband had loads of ideas--sauce, jam, muffins, cakes. The sauce intrigued me. What would you use this sauce for? I quickly heard my answer--"It's great on top of pancakes or vanilla ice cream or yogurt or just on its own." I started researching recipes and discovered how easy this was going to be.
Sure enough, with 3 ingredients and within 10 minutes I had a beautiful, delicious sauce. This is one of the easiest recipes of all time and totally worth it! Now, to go make some vanilla ice cream!
