Slow-Cooker Rhubarb Strawberry Sauce Recipe image

We recently started growing our own rhubarb, and we live in a part of Oregon where strawberries are plentiful. I created this to drizzle over ice cream and filled a crisp with the rest. -Kim Banick, Salem, Oregon

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed (about 10 stalks)
4 cups fresh strawberries (about 1-1/4 pounds), halved
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons cold water
Vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the first six ingredients. Cook, covered, on low 4-5 hours or until rhubarb is tender.
  • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth; gradually stir into sauce. Cook, covered, on low 30 minutes longer or until thickened. Serve with ice cream.
  • Yield: 5 cups.
  • Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
