Hello Peggy, thanks for dropping by. That's another new product I will make with next years Rhubarb. Rhubarb sauce made with strawberries, sounds nice.
It has been years since I have had a good rhubarb pie. My family also enjoyed rhubarb sauce made with strawberries. It was good to eat with toast.

Hello Robert, I have never cooked Rhubarb with strawberries before but I will give it a try next time
Loved rhubarb pie as a kid. My mom made them as did her mother. As an adult the rhubarb was mixed with fresh strawberries and the combination in a cobbler is delicious.
