2–5 stalks of rhubarb (depending on thickness) – about ⅓ of a pound
1 quart of fresh strawberries
About ½ cup sugar
2–3 tablespoons water
Instructions
Cut strawberries into quarters (of halves if very small)
Chop Rhubarb into ½ inch pieces (discard of the leaves if present)
Place the fruit & water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil
Once the fruit becomes juicier as the moisture leeches out from cooking, add the sugar & stir
Continue to simmer until the rhubarb begins to break down and the juices reach a slightly syrupy consistency
Taste and add more sugar if desired (to cut the tartness you can add more sugar but then continue to simmer for another couple minutes if you do add more)
Remove from heat and let cool (can be served warm or chilled)
