    Notes

    Rhubarb Sauce With Honey Tips

    • Cut your rhubarb into ½ inch pieces so they cook quicker.
    • You can add a little more maple syrup (or honey) to your taste.
    • If you prefer you can use lemon juice instead of balsamic vinegar to the sauce.
    • If you want your rhubarb sauce to be chunkier cook for about 4-5 mins less.
    • You can add other herbs like cilantro (fresh coriander), thyme as well as chili etc if you wish.
    • You can change the water for some apple juice or pineapple juice to add some extra flavors.
    • If you want a smoother rhubarb sauce, then you can simple blend it using an immersion blender to your taste.
    • You can also add raisins and sultanas in when you are cooking the sauce.
