Rhubarb Sauce

This is a simple recipe, short and sweet. Well, we are talking about rhubarb here, so it may not correlate as sweet to you. But, I am pleased to share what I only discovered just last summer through Allrecipes.com

I have always made rhubarb sauce the way my mother did. She simmered garden fresh rhubarb with a bit of sugar to taste. Well, here in our home, few people enjoy it – even when I serve it in small amounts in individual, dainty-glass, serving dishes.

So, last summer I went on a hunt for a better method. And this is the secret ingredient I found – BUTTER! Yes, it gives the sauce a smoother texture, and softens what some seem to think is a bitter taste.

When cooking for guests, sometimes I use a tiny drop of red food coloring to the sauce to give it a slight blush – strictly for eye appeal.

Suggestion from Allrecipes: This can be served warm over vanilla ice cream. My suggestion: Add sugared pecans to the rhubarb sundae.

Knowing God

Many believers are unaware of the intimate relationship God desires to have with us. Often sermons, and conversations, refer to such a relationship, with little, if any, instructions on how to draw into life-changing fellowship with God. Thus, few listeners are guided through helpful steps for developing one. This website is dedicated to the purpose of knowing God and making Him known.
