Ingredients

2 thick stalks rhubarb chopped (about 2 to 2-1/2 cups)
1/3 cup coconut palm sugar or brown/white sugar *SEE NOTE
1/4 cup water or more as desired for thinning
2½ cup sliced strawberries about 1 pint

Instructions

Add rhubarb, sugar, and water to a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower heat and cook at a simmer 5 to 7 minutes until rhubarb is breaking down and tender.
Add strawberries and cook another 3 minutes, stirring often.
Remove from heat and blend mixture with an immersion blender in the pan until smooth (alternately, carefully transfer the hot mixture to a blender and whir until smooth).
Refrigerate until serving or freeze to store longer.** Use as a thicker spread as-is, or thin to a pourable consistency with more water as needed.

Notes

*Other sweeteners work as well: try an equal amount of maple syrup or 1/4 c. of honey (since it's a bit sweeter than sugar).

**TO FREEZE: fill clean freezer-safe containers (I use half-pint sized) three-quarters full to leave room for expansion, attach lid and freeze 6 months to a year.
