  1. Made for the Goddesses of ZWT-9 - My best friend here in Iceland grows rhubarb in her garden & shares it w/me ea summer .. & .. We had guests for dinner yesterday who love strawberries & rhubarb w/ice cream. Sounded like fate to me, so I tripled this easy-to-fix recipe & will make more. Rhubarb is very popular here & I will use this sauce in many ways. Served atop shortcake, pound cake & pancakes are ideas that quickly come to mind. It would make good smoothies too. For our guests last night, it was generously ladled over vanilla ice cream & garnished w/a choc cookie. Yum! Our lady guest got a gift jar to take home w/her & she was happy. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. - Edited to Add: New pic & I have hardly begun to explore my options. :-)
     
  2. This sauce was sweet-tart heaven. My husband took his first taste and simply exclaimed, "oh gosh!" The bowls were empty before I thought about taking a photo. Thanks for posting this recipe.
     
  3. Made the sauce as given (although I did serve it over frozen vanilla yogurt) & must say that it's absolutely wonderful in every way! Love the sweet-tartness one gets from the combo of these fruits, & now I have a very nice keeper of a recipe! Many thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
     
  4. I did change the proportions a bit. Used close to a pound of rhubarb and about a cup and a half of the berries. We just enjoyed this as an afternoon cooling treat on vanilla bean ice cream that I made this morning. I used Splenda in the ice cream and the sundae topping. Dee-lish! :D..........
     
  5. Delish... Made for DH and I, lovely tart flavor. I had leftovers and am going to try and using as a mix for a smoothie. Made for tag forum.
