Strawberry Rhubarb Sundae


Warm rhubarb sauce can be eaten by itself, but it is even more delicious served over cold ice cream with strawberries!

For sundaes:
Rhubarb sauce
Strawberry jam (preferably homemade)
Vanilla ice cream
Fresh strawberries for garnish, optional

Rhubarb sauce:

2 cups chopped rhubarb
2/3 sugar
1 tbsp butter
a pinch of cinnamon

Cook rhubarb and sugar over medium heat, covered, for about 10 minutes. When rhubarb begins to soften, add butter, and cook uncovered for another 15 minutes. Sauce should darken as sugars caramelize. When slightly thickened and golden brownish, take off heat and add cinnamon.

Scoop one or two scoops of ice cream into each bowl. Top with warm rhubarb sauce and jam. Garnish with strawberries.
