Strawberry –Rhubarb Sauce
Cook’s notes: Celebrate spring with the sweet tart taste of rhubarb with strawberries. This sauce is versatile using it as jam on muffins, over ice cream or pound cake or as a side for meats and poultry. The sauce can be pureed in blender to make it smooth or pulse a few times in blender and let some chunks remain in the sauce. Sauce will thicken as it is refrigerated for several hours. I used a margarita glass for ice cream scoop with Strawberry-Rhubarb Sauce. 
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups diced rhubarb and 2 cups diced strawberries
  • 1 cup sugar 
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 TB. Grand Marnier
  • ½ TB. lemon juice
  • 1 TB. grated orange or lemon zest
  • optional dash of cinnamon
Directions:
  • In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water and stir to dissolve.
  • Add rhubarb and simmer on low 15 minutes, add in strawberries, lemon juice, zest and cook 10 minutes longer. If using cinnamon add in this cooking step. 
  • Remove from heat and add in Grand Marnier.
  • Puree in blender or pulse a few times in blender keeping in some chunks.
  • Refrigerate to thicken.
