This tangy and refreshing sauce combines the tartness of fresh rhubarb with the coolness of mint, creating a perfect complement for desserts, ice cream, pancakes, or even savory dishes.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Rhubarb
4 cups, chopped
Sugar
1 cup
Water
1 cup
Fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup, chopped
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, and water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft and breaks apart easily.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  5. Carefully transfer the rhubarb mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  6. Add the chopped mint leaves and lemon juice to the blender and pulse a few more seconds to combine, ensuring the mint is well incorporated.
  7. Pour the rhubarb and mint sauce into a clean jar or container and refrigerate until chilled, about 1-2 hours.
  8. Serve the sauce as a topping for desserts, ice cream, pancakes, or even grilled meats for a unique flavor.

Tips

  • 💡 For a sweeter sauce, adjust the sugar to your taste.
  • 💡 If you prefer a chunkier sauce, blend only partially or fold in the mint after blending.
  • 💡 This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
