Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 ounces rhubarb (6 to 8 stalks), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups strawberries (8 ounces), hulled and halved
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Tips:

  • Choose the best rhubarb: Look for rhubarb stalks that are bright red in color and firm to the touch. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Chop the rhubarb into small pieces: This will help it cook evenly in the microwave.
  • Use a microwave-safe bowl: Make sure the bowl is large enough to hold all of the ingredients and leave some room for expansion.
  • Cook the rhubarb in short intervals: This will help prevent it from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Stir the rhubarb frequently: This will help ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference. If you like your sauce tart, you can add less sugar. If you like it sweet, you can add more.
  • Use fresh strawberries: Fresh strawberries will give your sauce the best flavor.
  • Hull the strawberries: Before you add the strawberries to the sauce, be sure to hull them. This will remove the stems and leaves.
  • Microwave the sauce until it thickens: The sauce is done when it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.

Conclusion:

Microwave strawberry rhubarb sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is perfect for topping pancakes, waffles, ice cream, and yogurt. It can also be used as a filling for pies and tarts. No matter how you choose to use it, you are sure to enjoy this delicious sauce.
