  • About

Rhubarb and strawberries have a natural affinity, the sweet berries cutting through what early Americans called “pie-plant’s” astringency. This is a light variation on the classic spring fruit combination.

Tossing strawberries with sugar is a good idea for almost any use. The sugar helps draw out the berries’ natural juices, forming a light natural syrup; it also intensifies and heightens their color and flavor.
