A good friend who has lots of rhubarb gave me some the other day. It's so nice to have friends with gardens! I live in a town home and have a patio but no yard for a garden anymore. I do intend to grow some tomatoes and zucchini and maybe some herbs in pots this year, but it's been cold here in Minnesota! I haven't gotten anything started yet. But I'm thankful for friends who like to share their excess from their gardens. I love rhubarb! It was a delight to get some! So I made some rhubarb sauce with it and it turned out so good, I thought I'd share it.
Of course when you have rhubarb sauce, it's nice to have something to put it over also. It's pretty good all by itself but I've been eating it in sweetened kefir cheese, and tonight decided to make some ice cream but I didn't want to do the messy stuff in a bag. So I just did it this way...

Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce
Recipe By :Ginny
Serving Size : 16
Categories : Dessert/Sauces/dressings/Misc.
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 cups rhubarb -- diced
1 pound frozen strawberries, unsweetened
1/2 cup Torani vanilla flavored SF syrup
12 packets Truvia -- (or sweetener equal to 1/2 cup sweetening power)
2 tablespoons dry red wine
.3 ounces sugar free raspberry gelatin, GV -- (Walmart brand... no maltodextrin)
Place the rhubarb in a larg pot, add the frozen strawberries. I did not thaw them, but you can if you want, or use fresh. Add the Torani Syrup and the Truvia and the wine and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for about 6 minutes stirring all the while. When it's turned into a sauce, remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin well, until it is all dissolved. Place in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.
It will thicken as it chills. If you want it thicker you could add a larger box of gelatin maybe. Mine was just right for me.
Yield:
"2 quarts"
