Rhubarb Sauce

I absolutely LOVE rhubarb!!! When I was a kid, I'd pick it fresh, wet it down & then stick it into the sugar canister, when my Mom wasn't looking...YUMMMMM!!!!! This easy-to-make wonderful tasting sauce can be used as a topping for ice cream, pancakes or whatever else your little heart desires...I can eat it all by itself!!!
