It’s officially my favorite food season! Rhubarb is just coming into season here in the Midwest and strawberries are right around the corner. That combo brings me right back to being a kid at our family cabin in the late spring, early summer. We’d sit on a giant quilt in the sunshine and snack on cut up fruit with rhubarb stalks and little cups of sugar and sip bottles of bubbly Clearly Canadian (that stuff was amazing!). The sweet-tart balance of strawberry and rhubarb is still a favorite.

I’ve made recipes with rhubarb for years, mostly fruit jams, butters, simple syrups, pies and bars but this year I was craving something sweet and savory. A splash of bourbon and balsamic vinegar takes this sweet-tart mix of strawberry and rhubarb to a savory place and the roasting really brings out all the simple sweet and earthy flavors.

This classic combo can be served over ice cream, full fat yogurt or just gobbled up by the spoonful. But, with the sweet-savory syrup, it could also be great paired with grilled chicken or pork chops!
