Rhubarb is one of those flavors that is deliciously addicting…. pairs wonderfully with Strawberries. A tart-sweet flavor, perfectly thickened. Use with my recipe: Strawberry Rhubarb Cottage Cheese Cheesecake with an Oat & Almond Press In Crust – Gluten Free
Equipment
- 1 non-reactive one quart pot
Ingredients
- 2 -3 medium-large stalks fresh rhubarb, choose bright colored ones, to equal 2 cups sliced
- 1/2 cup pure cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 3/4 cups small strawberries, hulled, washed & dried, cut in quarters
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon filtered water
Instructions
- Cut cleaned and dry rhubarb, cut into 1'2" slices on the diagonal.
- In a non-reactive one quart pot, add rhubarb, sugar and orange juice. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for just 3 minutes until softened, the color should still be bright. Do not overcook the rhubarb or it will not hold its shape.
- Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl and mix well. Add to simmering rhubarb and stir well until the liquid has thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat – add strawberries and stir in. Cool, then refrigerate in a clean glass container with a good seal.
- Top a 9″ cheesecake. See recipe: Strawberry Rhubarb Cottage Cheese Cheesecake with an Oat & Almond Press In Crust – Gluten Free
