Ginger Rhubard-Berry Sauce  

Note from Cheri:
This diabetic friendly recipe was given to us by Marilyn Helton, editor of Cinnamon Hearts Diabetic Cooking Newsletter, and author of our Diabetic Dining on Fabulous Foods column.

Marilyn always says, "A diagnosis of diabetes does NOT have to be a culinary death sentence." And she's got the recipes to prove it. She likes to serve this wonderful sauce over non-fat vanilla yogurt, Angelfood cake or low-fat pound cake.

4 C chopped rhubarb
2 C hulled, halved strawberries 1/2 C sugar
1/2 C orange juice
grated zest of 1 orange
grated zest of 1 lemon
1 T fresh ginger, finely grated
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Makes 8 servings

Combine all ingredients in an heavy saucepan. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring once and skimming off any foam that forms on top, until the rhubarb is just ender, 10-12 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Serve over frozen nonfat vanilla yogurt, or angel food or low-fat pound cake. Be sure to include the yogurt or cake in your calculations. The analysis below is just for the sauce.
