So easy, and so good... don't let all that rhubarb in your garden (or your neighbors' garden!) go to waste!!
Rhubarb Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
8 cups rhubarb, cut into 1" pieces
1 cup water
1 - 1 1/2 cups sugar (depending on how sweet you want it!)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
Directions:
Put the rhubarb, water, sugar and nutmeg into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, until the rhubarb is tender and has fallen apart.
If you would like a thicker sauce than you've got, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until completely dissolved, and then stir this mixture into your sauce - bringing it back up to a boil for a minute or so, until it has reached the consistency you would like.
Serve warm over vanilla ice cream, or even better - chill overnight and then stir a couple big spoonfuls into a bowl of plain yogurt!
*This sauce freezes wonderfully. Just cool completely in freezer-safe tupperware and freeze for up to a year!
