Ingredients
  • 2 cups rhubarb, sliced
  • 2 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 Tablespoons Bourbon (I used Maker's Mark) OPTIONAL
Instructions
  1. Put all the ingredients (except the optional bourbon) into a medium sized saucepan and bring to a boil.

  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the bourbon, and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the fruit has broken down and the sauce has thickened.

  3. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

  4. Serve cold or hot over ice cream or pudding or, like we did when I was a kid, just put some in a bowl and enjoy!
