Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Cups Rhubarb I used the mash left over from my rhubarb simple syrup.
  • 1 Cup Fresh or Frozen Strawberries
  • 1/4 Cup Real Maple Syrup

Equipment

  • 1 Immersion blender

Method
 

  1. Follow my recipe for the Rhubarb Simple Syrup. This is the rhubarb mash that I used in the sauce.
  2. If the rhubarb mash from the simple syrup was frozen, leave this to thaw before continuing.
  3. Place the rhubarb mash into a small sauce pan.
  4. Clean and slice the strawberries (if using fresh) and add to the sauce pan with the rhubarb mash.
  5. Add the maple syrup and stir.
  6. Heat the mixture at a medium high heat, stirring as the mixture heats.
  7. Cook until the strawberries break down, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  8. Once the strawberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened, remove from the heat.
  9. Blend the mixture with an immersion blender until it looks similar to apple sauce.
  10. Let the sauce cool completely before scooping into a container, place into the refrigerator for about an hour before you enjoy.
  11. Serve as you would an apple sauce.
