Got rhubarb? This 2-ingredient recipe (okay, 3 if you want it extra sweet) comes together faster than you can say ‘Spring Fling’. Use it on cake, morning toast, or a fancy pavlova. Or add a spoonful to a tall glass, add a shot of gin, and top it off with seltzer. It is a multi-use, multi-faceted, multi-pleaser. We have tried it with our Ginger Root Infused Maple and our Sugarmaker’s Cut and they are equally delicious.
