When people think of rhubarb, they think of rhubarb jam recipes, or rhubarb crisp recipes. Here I make a simple rhubarb sauce recipe for all sorts of uses. Watch and then leave a comment on how you use rhubarb or post a rhubarb recipe.
Rhubarb is for so much more than pies and crisps. It goes well with meat, fish, poultry, over ice-cream or
a plain cake. This recipe is nice mixed in with hot oatmeal, which can otherwise be a little bit blah.
Rhubarb-Apple Compote
2 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb
2 apples peeled, cored and chopped
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup water
Simmer all ingredients on low heat until rhubarb is soft.
You can puree in a processor if you like it extra smooth!
Makes approximately 3 cups.
Refrigerate.

could have used less dog and more plant info. loved that you posted this. I will make it now. My grandmother has a recipe more rhubarb and sugar with water basic and simple but i wanted to try something different. Thanks very much. posts like these make the web a useful place.

Can that recipe be frozen to be used in the winter?

Cut rhubarb into half inch pieces. Put in plastic container and freeze. Do NOT add water. Let it freezer-burn for 6 months to a year.
Thaw, and squeeze out the remaining juice in cheese cloth.
Add sugar.
You now have a very, very simple syrup. There is no cooking required.

Great recipe and video. We also love rhubarb, so much so that we have 20 hills of it and we freeze it too. Rhubarb sauce was always on the table when I was young and I carried it over to married life and family. Rhubarb custard pie is the best though. The sauce is great with the Artisan bread on the video you made. Yuuuummmmoooo
