Strawberry rhubarb sauce or compote
Description
This sauce or compote begins by combining equal parts diced strawberries and rhubarb in a saucepan, along with freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar adjusted to taste, and a small amount of water. The mixture is brought to a boil and then simmered over low to medium heat until it achieves the desired thickness, typically between 30 and 45 minutes.
The resulting compote features the natural sweetness and acidity of the fruit with a thick, spoonable texture. Its flavor is both vibrant and balanced due to the lemon juice and controlled sugar level.
The sauce can be served either warm or chilled, making it versatile for topping desserts, pancakes, or yogurt, or for spreading on toast. Once cooled, it can be refrigerated to keep fresh.

- 4 cups strawberry diced
