Meet your new favorite dessert sauce. No joke. This Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce is that good. I am about to finish the 16 oz jar I made over the weekend all by myself. I seriously cannot stop. I am hiding it away from my husband, because I want it all to myself. No, not really. But I am oh-so tempted. I have been adding it to ice-cream, to fruits, to frozen treats, to brownies… the possibilities are endless. It’s magical.
I have been sort of obsessed with strawberries lately. I’ll eat them by themselves, in salads, in smoothies, etc. I mostly like the large red ones, not the little ones without color. I don’t know what it is about this berry that’s spinning my world round and round. You’d think I was pregnant. But I am not! Weird, right? Especially since I have never really cared about strawberries.
The great thing is that strawberries are packed with Vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber, making them a fantastic all-natural ingredient. Another great thing, is that this food item has no sodium, no fats, no cholesterol, and is very low in calories. I have scored the next best thing, haven’t I?
