Ingredients
  

  • 4 stalks rhubarb
  • 1 c orange juice
  • 1 c strawberries quartered
  • 1/2 t vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Trim, wash, and chop rhubarb.
  • Place rhubarb and juice in a small heavy pan. Bring to a boil, and keep at a rolling simmer for 20 minutes, to reduce the juice as well as cook the rhubarb.
  • Add strawberries, continue cooking another 15 minutes.
  • Let cool 15 minutes (or longer) then stir in vanilla.
  • Chill, and let flavors meld, before using.

Notes

Use the sour/sweet sauce over waffles or hot cereal, with ice cream or other sweets, or with bland savory dishes that could use a punch of flavor.
