Strawberry Rhubarb Fruit


What you need,

3 cups of rhubarb, fresh or frozen, chopped
2 cups of strawberries, fresh or frozen
¾ cup granulated sugar (I like mine a bit tart if you like it sweeter you can use 1 full cup of sugar.)
3/4 cup water, if using fresh fruit

In a medium saucepan combine the fruit, sugar and water. Cook over medium high heat until it comes to a simmer then turn the heat down to medium low.
Stir occasionally for 15-20 minutes or until the rhubarb is tender and the mixture starts to thicken up a bit.
Let cool completely, then you can store it in the fridge for a week, or you can freeze it in an airtight container for use later.
I used frozen fruit so I let it thaw completely in the fridge, you will use the juice that you get from the thawing process. If you use fresh fruit you will need a bit of liquid so add the water.
The fruit will thicken up more as it cools.

Serve over ice cream.
