nothing says summer like strawberries...
and rhubarb!
This often neglected vegetable is one of my favorites, it is naturally very tart and when combined with strawberries is like summer exploding in your mouth :)
Strawberry Rhubarb Compote
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 pound rhubard (red or green is okay!)
2 pounds strawberries
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice (I squeeze half a lemon)
In a giant pot heat water and sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar. Add rhubarb, bring to a simmer. Cook for several hours on low, do not stir! When the rhubarb is very soft add the strawberrie snad cook for 1 hour. Freeze or refridgerate. Serve warm or cold over ice crea, angel food cake, pound cake, lady's fingers, waffles...anything!
