| 2 1/2 cups | Rhubarb, chopped |
| 3/4 cup | Water |
| 1/2 cup | Sugar |

Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, water, sugar, and lemon zest. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and continue cooking until the rhubarb is tender, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking, as you want the rhubarb to maintain some texture.
-
After removing the saucepan from the heat, gently stir in the cinnamon and fresh raspberries. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a serving dish or storing it in the refrigerator.
This Raspberry Rhubarb Sauce is not only a vibrant addition to your dessert repertoire but also brings a burst of seasonal flavor to your table, making it a perfect choice for spring and summer gatherings. Enjoy it over your favorite desserts, or simply savor it on its own!
