Great recipe, rhubarb strawberry sauce is a favorite. Since I try to cut calories I use Swerve sugar replacement and have also used orange juice fresh squeezed for the water which I like the best. Don't need much liquid I have found 1/4 can be enough. Sometimes a shake of ginger in with the cinnamon too. Toasting angel food cake makes it so much more interesting. I chop and freeze rhubarb so I have it available, and I like to make this sauce and then freeze it and get it out when needed.
