The sweet and tart combination of strawberries and rhubarb mesh beautifully in this decadently delicious ice cream topping.

Why Try? You’ve topped ice cream with hot fudge, nuts and strawberries…but if you haven’t tried it with this strawberry-rhubarb sauce, well, you’re in for a treat.

Foodie Byte: Some people find the tartness of rhubarb a tad overwhelming, but when combined with strawberries, the blended flavor is intoxicating.

Preparation

  1. In a small saucepan, combine rhubarb, 1 cup strawberries, sugar, and butter.
  2. Cover tightly and cook over the lowest heat for 8 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add remaining strawberries and heat through.
