Rhubarb and Strawberry Pancake Sauce

Pancakes with rhubarb and strawberry sauce 6Strawberry season is here again, hence time to use these fresh berries in my recipes.

My daughter also gardens, and this year her rhubarb plant is doing exceptionally well.

She shared her harvest with me, so I decided to create a pancake sauce out of her rhubarb and my strawberries, to serve with home-made pancakes.

I already posted my favorite childhood recipe for pancakes, but today I will post a new recipe, based on Japanese pancakes, plus a recipe for my rhubarb strawberry sauce.

This recipe yields 9 pancakes and about 3 cups of sauce.
