I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again! Rhubarb is one of my favorite summer flavors! I love it’s tart flavor, especially when it’s combined with sweet! This recipe is definitely not low sugar, but you only need a little rhubarb sauce for a big splash of flavor! This rhubarb jam sauce is great on ice cream, toast, pancakes, or even waffles. It adds a tart sweet flavor to anything you pour it over or put it on.

I have a little rhubarb that grows in my garden, and my mom gave me some more a week or two ago, so I had to make this sauce to top my coconut ice cream! It’s a perfect summer flavor combination!
You can put the sauce in pint or quart jars, and freeze extra you don’t think you’ll use right away. Better yet, add a gift tag with the recipe and give it to friends or family! Of course there’s none going to waste at our house! I might spare a pint to give to my mom, since she gave me the rhubarb to make this with! If it doesn’t all get eaten first that is!
