Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce

2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

1 cup chopped rhubarb

½ cup sugar (or less) or try another sweetener, such as honey or agave

1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Combine and cook over medium-low heat, in a small saucepan until everything is soft and sauce-like, about 15 minutes. For a thicker sauce, you can cook it longer, just be sure to keep stirring and checking often so that it doesn’t scorch on the bottom.

Let cool and serve over ice cream, waffles or pancakes, in your oatmeal or with yogurt.
