Strawberry Rhubarb / Vanilla Sauce Recipe

Strawberry Rhubarb Topping Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fruit

   In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, sugar, and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to release.

   Cook the Mixture

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the rhubarb is tender.

   Thicken the Sauce

   In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Add the mixture to the saucepan and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Cool and Serve

   Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Serve warm or chilled over cheesecake.
