Strawberry-Rhubarb Parfaits

This deliciousness is the easiest way to use that extra rubarb in your garden.  It takes no time at all, and it is Y-U-M-M-Y!

Sauce:

4 cups rhubarb

1 cup sugar

2 lbs. strawberries

1/4 cup water

Boil together the rhubarb, sugar, water, and strawberries until the rhubarb breaks down (about 10 min.)  Let cool until thickened (at least 1 1/2 hours)

To make the parfaits:

Layer the sauce, whipped cream, and vanilla ice cream.  Be sure to leave enough room on top to add sauce as the last layer.  

I also like this rhubarb sauce for pancakes & waffles.
