Description

This simple and flavorful rhubarb sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. With the added brightness of orange peel and a hint of vanilla, it makes for an ideal topping for desserts, yogurt, or even as a side to savory dishes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 650 grams rhubarb, cut into ½-inch pieces

  • 130 grams cane sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 4 strips of fresh orange peel

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste


Instructions

  • Prepare the Rhubarb:
    In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, cane sugar, and sea salt. Stir gently to combine.

  • Add Orange Peel and Vanilla:
    Add the strips of fresh orange peel to the saucepan. Stir in the vanilla bean paste.

  • Cook the Sauce:
    Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Once the rhubarb begins to soften and break down (about 10-15 minutes), reduce the heat and continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the rhubarb is fully softened.

  • Remove the Orange Peel:
    Once the sauce is done cooking, remove the orange peel strips.

  • Serve:
    Allow the sauce to cool before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled.

Notes

  • If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to puree it to your desired consistency.

  • The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
