This easy rhubarb sauce is tangy, sweet, and full of fresh flavor. It cooks down in just minutes and can be used warm or cold. Spoon it over desserts, swirl it into oatmeal or yogurt, or enjoy it straight from the jar. It’s a springtime staple that’s freezer-friendly too!
4 cups chopped fresh rhubarb (about 1 lb)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1/4 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt
Optional: zest or juice of 1 orange or lemon
In a medium saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, water, and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down and the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in vanilla extract and citrus zest or juice if using.
Let cool slightly before serving, or chill completely and store in the fridge.
For a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender or mash with a fork.
Adjust sweetness depending on how tart your rhubarb is.
Freezes beautifully — store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
