At our grandma’s farm, she always had an abundance of raspberries and rhubarb during the summer. After a long day of working outside, we’d all enjoy a bowl of vanilla ice cream with her sweetened raspberries on top. Oh, the memories! I got to thinking, why not mix the two together and today I have my new obsession, rhubarb raspberry dessert sauce!

Other Uses for Rhubarb Raspberry Dessert Sauce

Post Contents

We primarily enjoy this sauce over vanilla ice cream, but we have also used this sauce on slices of pound cake, plain cheesecake, pancakes (with whipped cream), shortcakes (in place of strawberries), or just a spoonful by itself. Sometimes I think we overcomplicate simple desserts. My mom tells me that my grandpa used to enjoy rhubarb sauce all summer long and would just eat a small bowl of it by itself! Still, my favorite use for this sauce is over ice cream.

My recipe will produce just less than 2 cups of sauce. This is perfect for storing in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can adjust this recipe quantity up or down easily to fit your sauce-consuming needs

You may use either fresh or frozen berries and rhubarb. You also may want to add more sugar to your sauce depending on the tartness of your berries or rhubarb.

If you’re looking for more rhubarb recipes, previously I shared my rhubarb bars and my strawberry rhubarb lemonade slush.
