Time 20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds rhubarb
1 cup sugar
Grated rind of one orange
1 1/2 pounds strawberries
3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Trim rhubarb, removing any peel that comes off easily. Cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Combine with sugar and orange rind and bring slowly to a boil, covered, in a non-aluminum saucepan. Simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile wash and stem strawberries and if they are large, halve them lengthwise. Add to rhubarb with the ginger and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, until berries are soft but hold their shape.
  • Cool and, if there is time, chill.
