This classic combo is wonderful over yogurt, shortcake or angel food cake.

Ingredients

2 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 1/2 cups sliced strawberries

Instructions

Place rhubarb in a microwave-safe dish large enough to hold 8 cups (2 L). Sprinkle with sugar and cornstarch, then toss to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap vented at one corner. Microwave on high, 6 to 8 minutes, then stir in strawberries. Continue microwaving, uncovered and stirring once, until thick and bubbly, 3 minutes. Great warm or cold. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.
