Hi Dave,
DD> I've never "got" the strawberry-rhubarb conflation. I've tried it
more DD> than a few times and the flavours do not work well together
for me. I DD> quite like the tartness of the rhubarb (and wid picked
gooseberries).
RH> I like it, have had some that has been really sweet, other that has
RH> been on the tart side. It's good either way IMO.
DD> I hereby bequeath you my share of the strawberry/rhubarb mixtures.
And I'll gladly take it. (G)
DD> I assume that people first used strawberries in the mix to mitigate
DD> the tartness when sugar was in short supply. But now days they also
DD> add the sugar and get a product that is (to me) cloyingly sweet.
DD> I'll pass.
RH> Make your own to the tartness level you prefer.
DD> As my granddad always used to say "It's a poor cook who can't suit
DD> himself."
Exactly--unless you're cooking for others also, and some of their tastes
aren't the same as yours.
DD> Title: Rhubarb Sauce DD> Categories: Five, Sauces, Fruits
DD> Yield: 2 Pints
DD> Good on I scream, panquakes, waffles, toast, biscuits,
DD> peanut butter sarnies, whatever you care to add it to.
RH> I'll have it on ice cream or biscuits, have basically given up
RH> pancakes and waffles.
DD> I get more pancakes than waffles - but, they're both on my menu.
I'd be too tempted to drown them in maple syrup. When I was a kid, if
mom made waffles (rarely), we'd always try to fill each indentation with
syrup. It was good but we couldn't get away with it all the time as
syrup was/is expensive.

RH> Is that magazine still going? I used to read it at my grandmother's
RH> whenever we'd visit.
DD> You betchum, Red Rydar! Here's a link:

DD> I'll probably never make this on my own. But, I'd tuck into it with
DD> gusto should it be served to me.
