How to Make Rhubarb Sauce

Start by gathering the following ingredients:

  • 1 pound of chopped rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar

  2. Stir in the cinnamon and jam.

How to Serve It

This is a fruit compote, and although you can eat it right off a spoon, we like it best served with something. You can serve it warm or chilled with ice cream, pound cake, yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes/waffles, and more.

Our favorite way to enjoy it is spooned over vanilla ice cream and topped with crushed graham crackers or biscoff cookies.

Stay well. I will see you back here soon.
