Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 2 cups Rhubarb chopped, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup Sugar adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha or preferred hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar preferable over apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup Water adjust for consistency

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Immersion Blender

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine chopped rhubarb, sugar, sriracha, balsamic vinegar, salt, and a splash of water. Stir well to blend all ingredients thoroughly. Set stove to medium heat and mix continuously for about 5 minutes.
  2. Once the mixture starts bubbling, increase the heat slightly to bring it to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to low and simmer until rhubarb breaks down, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, then use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Gradually add more water if the sauce is too thick.
  4. Taste and adjust flavors; add more sugar for sweetness or sriracha for heat as needed.
  5. Let the sauce cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a clean jar for storage. Refrigerate for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
