Ingredients

Scale

Rhubarb Sauce:

  • 650 grams rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 130 grams cane sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 strips of fresh orange peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. Cut rhubarb: Cut rhubarb into 1/2 inch pieces. In a large bowl or tray, mix rhubarb with sugar, salt, and orange peel. Let sit for 30 minutes.
  2. Cook mixture: Add all of the mixture, including juices, to a medium pot and gently simmer for 10 minutes with the cover on, stirring occasionally. Rhubarb will soften and break down. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Blend: Discard orange peel and blend the mixture until smooth.
  4. Finish: Stir in vanilla bean paste. The sauce will thicken a bit as it’s refrigerated. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for 4-6 months.
