Strawberry-Rhubarb Simple Syrup – a deliciously sweet addition to your favorite summer drinks and desserts!

Strawberry Rhubarb Simple Syrup - a delicious addition to your favorite summer drinks & desserts!

Rhubarb, oh rhubarb. You are the one vegetable that grows well around here…almost TOO well…and the one thing I have never quite known what to do with. Every year I pluck your ripe stalks  and stick you in my fridge….and every year you sit there until I finally decide it’s time to chop you up and freeze you!

Eventually I get around to turning you into pie….or bread….or coffee cake….or even soup….but before I know it, I turn around and you are re-growing! And there’s a whole new batch of you to deal with! Don’t get me wrong – I’m not complaining, really. Just commenting on the fact that there seems to be no shortage of you in the summer months.

Which is exactly why I felt the need to think outside the box this year and make something other than the “usual”….something that would be just as sweet and delicious as all the baked goods, but would (hopefully) take less time to make and (maybe) last a little longer, too!

The final result? This Strawberry-Rhubarb Simple Syrup. Which is definitely sweet, undeniably delicious, simple to make, and extremely versatile. The only problem? It doesn’t last nearly as long as I had imagined it would. It’s just too good!! Of course, the good news is I can always make more. (We all know there’s more where this came from!!)

    Good to know that it goes easily. Our growing season is short, so I’m always looking for plants that will grow easily and quickly. This syrup sounds delicious.

    I guess that could be a problem to get an over-abundance of something, even if it is rhubarb! I love it. This simple syrup sounds like a great way to use it and it’s the most gorgeous color!

    Delicious! I associate rhubarb with my gramma – she always had it in some kind of dessert at every holiday! Pinning this, Cathy!
