Cherry Rhubarb Sauce from Knott's Berry Farm
Recipe: Cherry Rhubarb Sauce from Knott's Berry Farm
Source: Knott's Berry Farm Cookbook
Serves: 6 or more
Cook's Notes: My parents watched Knott's grow from a berry stand and cafe to a full-blown amusement park with multiple restaurants, but the Chicken Dinner Restaurant was always our favorite. The Chicken was fabulous, of course, but Oh! the side dishes! The best mashed potatoes and gravy; cabbage with bits of ham; that green salad with the orange French dressing, lol! But the best was and is the Cherry Rhubarb Sauce. So quick and easy, and perfect as a side for Easter Brunch, too.
1 pound rhubarb
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups water
Cut rhubarb into 1-inch pieces. Place in large saucepan, pour sugar over and let stand 1 hour. Add water to saucepan and bring mixture to boil slowly. Cook 1 to 5 minutes until rhubarb is tender. Cool, cover and refrigerate several hours (or overnight!) before serving.
