Oh wow, this was so good. I, also didn't think 1/2 cup sugar would be enough, but it is perfect. I did add a little tapioca to make a little thicker sauce. This can be used for so many things - can't wait to try it mixed with plain yogurt. I've always made my rhubarb sauce with strawberry jello, but this is so much better. Thanks so much.

I used fresh fruit and doubled the amount of strawberries. We served this on the side of an angel food cake with whipped cream on top. Everyone loved it!!

Wow! My wonderful boyfriend made this for me for Mother's Day and it is one of the most spectacular sauces I've ever had!! He used 3/4 cup sugar for 2 cups of Dutch rhubarb and used orange juice instead of water. Also, he put in one tablespoon of corn starch, and cooked it for about 20 minutes at a slow boil. We had it over French vanilla ice cream last night and on oatmeal this morning. But it is best eaten just spoon by spoon from the pot! Thank you, Michelle.

Made this as written expecting the 1/2 cup sugar wouldn't be enough. It was. Just the right thickness for my taste. Wonderful over yogurt or all by itself.

This sauce is great as is, especially if just using for sweet dessert toppings. I’ve also made it with both water and mandarin juice, just because I had them on hand and dropped the sugar, to use as a sauce for meats and fish. (Adding aromatics and/or herbs as wanted) It’s absolutely lovely either way, but I do like to keep my options open.
