Ahhhh.....the fruits of summer have arrived!


Here’s a sweet and tangy sauce that’s great over ice cream, cheesecake or all by itself!
Summer Sauce

Ingredients:

6 C diced rhubarb
1 can crushed pineapple
¼ C Orange juice (orange pineapple is good too)
1 ½ C sugar (or sugar substitute)
1 small pkg raspberry gelatin
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest of ½ a lemon

Place first 5 ingredients in a saucepan. Stirring frequently, bring to a boil then turn down to a good simmer. Allow to simmer until the rhubarb is completely cooked, and it has reduced slightly. Pull off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.

Allow to chill and enjoy!
