Ingredients

12 ounces rhubarb (6 to 8 stalks), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 

6 tablespoons sugar 

1 1/2 cups strawberries (8 ounces), hulled and halved 

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

Preparation

Bring rhubarb, sugar, and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Stir in strawberries and vanilla; cook until berries are softened, about 3 minutes more. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature.
