Rhubarb Sauce Recipe: Your New Go-To Tangy Treat


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chopped fresh rhubarb (about 1 lb)

  • ▪️ ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

  • ▪️ ¼ cup water

  • ▪️ 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, adds warmth)

  • ▪️ 1–2 tsp lemon juice (optional, for extra tang)

  • ▪️ Pinch of salt


Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, and water.

  • Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  • Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 10–15 minutes, until the rhubarb softens and breaks down.

  • Stir in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust sugar to taste if needed.

  • For a smooth sauce, use a blender or immersion blender. For a chunky version, leave as is.

 

  • Let cool. Store in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
