Tips:

  • Choose the ripest rhubarb you can find. This will ensure the sauce is tart and flavorful.
  • Rhubarb leaves are poisonous, so be sure to trim them off before using the stalks.
  • Do not overcook the rhubarb. This will make it mushy and lose its vibrant color.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar in the sauce to your taste. For a sweeter sauce, add more sugar; for a tarter sauce, add less.
  • Rhubarb sauce can be used to top pancakes, waffles, ice cream, and yogurt. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and cakes.
