Classic partners used mostly in pies and pastries, here rhubarb and strawberries join together to make a beautiful sauce perfectly suited for both dessert and savory dishes. We’ve added balsamic vinegar and fresh orange juice to accentuate the flavour of the sweet strawberries and tame rhubarb’s tart bite. Prepare it in the spring when both are in their peak season. Serve this fruity sauce over yogurt, pancakes or roasted pork tenderloin. If you’re planning to entertain, make if for dessert. Scoop light vanilla ice cream or a lemon sorbet into martini or dessert glasses and top with the sauce for an elegant presentation.
