It doesn’t feel like spring to me until I start seeing rhubarb in the markets. And finally, finally, the snow is beginning to melt and everything is greening up around here. It’s about time! I made this rhubarb sauce in honor of spring. Try it!
Start with about a pound of fresh rhubarb, diced…
add a small chunk (about an inch) of fresh ginger, smashed
place in a medium saucepan and add 3T of water, a few passes on your grater from a nutmeg, and about 3/4 cup of sugar (more or less, depending on how tart you want it)
Cover and simmer until it turns into this (about 15 minutes)
I put mine on top of ice cream, but you could be healthy and serve it on hot cereal or yogurt. (The ice cream is better)….
easy peasy..

I really like your recipe for rhubarb sauce—fresh ginger and nutmeg sound really good. I think it would be good on a lemon pudding cake too. Yum! Thanks! Joni
I’m going to have to try this. Sounds and looks oh so good. I will have to have on yougurt, no dairy for me. I do love rice ice cream though.
YUMMY!!
I think I need to try this!
I love the recipe and I love rhubarb..especially in pies! I will try this, love the ginger in it! Come say hi 😀
I miss rhubarb so much here in AZ. I’ll pass this on to my mother-in-law. She’ll love it. Great idea.
looks so good on ice cream TFS 😀
What a yummy Rhubarb Recipe. Great R post.
how exciting to find another rhubarb lover! my husband has been asking for rhubarb sauce for days now..and i keep making other things. i am definitely going to try your recipe and surprise him with a big bowl of ice cream and rhubarb sauce!
Hi Christy,
Thanks for stopping by. Let me know how the sauce turns out!
Yum! I miss having rhubarb growing in my yard!
Yumm! We trans-planted 5 rhubarb plants from hubs grandparents home last year. They had both passed away within a year of each other and the family was selling their home. Grandpa was a hugh gardener. The plants all came up this year but are not very high. Do you know if we have to wait a couple of years before cutting for use? I might have to raid a friends garden this year again!
Brenda,
I don’t think you’re supposed to pick them the first year and then just a “light” picking the second, but on the third year you can pick all you want.
I love stewed rhubarb and I especially love it on ice cream!
I posted a rhubarb recipe today too!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Sounds delicious. I think it makes the ice cream healthy if you put this on top. Did you know then calories don’t count LOL.
Hey Vicki – I love how you think! My theory is that anything you steal from someone else’s plate doesn’t have calories either!
that just sounds delish with the fresh ginger and nutmeg . I will totally be making this … my rhubarb has been up for a while … and hey, that looks like quality ice cream … yummy!!!!
Oh yum. I love rhubarb, too! I miss rhubarb. Once in a while we see it in the store here in AZ but it is all limp and kind of not exciting.
I used to have a great recipe for rhubarb cake…but I never bother to dig it out anymore. Oh, it was luscious!
Thanks for this tasty stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday’s Letter “R”!
A+
And please save some for me…with greek yogurt, please!
It certainly is easy peasy! So yummy as well!
rhubarb and me – not so much but you make it look lovely!
I have fond memories of rhubarb, picked straight off the plant and eaten with a dab of sugar. Sometimes I even loved to just eat a stalk for fun. I miss it-doesn’t grow here in the desert! Enjoy it for me.
You know, I have never had rhubarb before but this looks so simple and delicious!
I’ll have to try it!
That does sound delicious! I’m a rhubarb fan.
Oh that looks so heavenly – I love rhubarb!
Wow. This looks amazing. I love your photos for your recipes. I really have never used Rhubarb before in my life, but this is inspiring.
Oh definitely ice cream! This sounds delicious, and your photos are making me drool.
Yum!
