Rhubarb Recipe — Baked Rhubarb Sauce

I can't believe I didn't like this as a child! It cooks down to a sweet, tart, spicy sauce that can be eaten alone, mixed with oatmeal, served over ice cream, or to accompany pork. My daughter even spreads it on toast.

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅓ teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 pinch salt

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. Place rhubarb in a casserole dish. Mix sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together and sprinkle evenly over the rhubarb.
3. Cover and bake in the preheated oven until rhubarb is soft, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and stir vigorously to break down rhubarb into a sauce. Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature.
