Fresh Summer Fruit Salad

One day I decided to stir some rhubarb sauce into my fruit salad – and LOVED the result. The rhubarb sauce keeps fruits from turning brown too.

Directions

  1. Bring water and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the rhubarb, turn heat to low, cover, and simmer until rhubarb is soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Mash and chill in the refrigerator, about one hour.
