Extra Tart Rhubarb Sauce

Recently a friend gave me some fresh rhubarb from her garden…and I was in heaven!  I LOVE rhubarb…particularly strawberry-rhubarb pie!  But the pie would have to wait.  My immediate goal was to make a sugar-free rhubarb sauce that could be served alongside the baked salmon I was having for dinner.  After looking at a few recipes (all of which added various sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, etc.) I decided to be bold & go entirely sweetener-free.  And I must say…it turned out delish!  Oh, it’s definitely tart & not great by itself.  But it went REALLY well with my salmon!  Give a try.  You just might fall in love with rhubarb in its pure form!

Ingredients

  • 3 c rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 green cardamom pod
  • 1″ piece of ginger, chopped
Put all ingredients into a medium pot.  Add 1/4 to 1/2 c water.  Bring to boil & cook until rhubarb has broken down to the consistency that you like, approx 1/2 hr to 45 min.
 
Serve alongside salmon or chicken or on top of ice cream.  Delish!
