    This recipe for gluten free strawberry rhubarb sauce is simple to make and is delicious on cakes, waffles or pancakes. This sauce can be used for dessert or breakfast with its sweet and tart flavor. It's perfect to make with fresh or frozen fruit.

    I know rhubarb can be hard to find some seasons, so I grow plants in my garden. The plants are really easy to grow, take very little care and come back each season. I have three plants now of two different varieties of rhubarb. I use what I want fresh and then I slice the stems into chunks and freeze them in freezer safe bags so I have rhubarb year round.

    Can this recipe be made with frozen fruit?

    Yes, fresh or frozen fruit work great for this recipe. Since the sauce is going to be cooked down it doesn't matter which you use. However, the frozen fruit will take longer to cook so you will need to add time to how long the sauce is on the stovetop.

    Do I have to use rhubarb in this recipe?

    If you want the tart flavor that rhubarb adds, yes you will need to use rhubarb in this recipe. However, if you don't have rhubarb and still want to make a sauce you could substitute another fruit for the rhubarb. Blackberries would be a good substitution that would still give you a bit of tart flavor.

    How should I store this sauce?

    It is best to store this sauce in a sealed jar or container in the refrigerator after it has cooled completely. The sauce is best if used within the 7-10 days. If you aren't going to use the sauce right away you can freeze it for up to four months in a freezer safe container or bag.

    I love to use half of the sauce and then freeze the second half for later. It's amazing on a day that I'm rushing to have sauce for breakfast pancakes or waffles to get out of the freezer!
