Rhubarb sauce is easy to make, and you can tailor it to your time and taste. Use only rhubarb or add in fruit, a jalapeno, or even fresh ginger for some added layers of flavor. Use it to top cake, pie, or ice cream—or drizzle it on a dessert plate for a dramatic presentation of your latest baked dessert! By the way, rhubarb sauce can also be an excellent savory sauce for roasted chicken, beef, or lamb.
