ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in CA my mom used to make some things along this line. She made apricot and plumb sauces depending on what was ripe or had 'cross-over'. Prepared like you do BUT no food coloring, just a little lemon to preserve color and discourage greying, sugar - depending on tartness, fresh fruit ripe from the branch, vine or ground, enough water to barely cover, slow simmer and a close eye. 30 minutes tops. Fantastic with meats or on ice cream!
I need to try this!!
ReplyDeleteI love strawberry rhubarb sauce! My husband has been mowing over my rhubarb for several years now...I finally moved it into the garden in the spring, but it is just starting to come back, so no rhubarb again this year :( Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteOne of our favorite summer treats is rhubarb pie or rhubarb upside down cake! I’ll have to try this!!

Too bad you don't live near by, I have rhubarb that I never use. Well, not growing now; but earlier this summer it was.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy; but not one of my favorites.
