Strawberry Rhubarb is a combination so delicious, it’s perfect in all forms! And today’s recipe is no exception!
Last week I shared how I come up with some of my recipes. This one was more of a happy accident. I initially made a rhubarb compote to add too first oatmeal, followed by yogurt. And although it tasted great in both forms, I was very unhappy with how all the pictures turned out.
So, I had a small jar of compote in my fridge, and needed a new idea for a recipe. I started by searching my fridge, freezer, and pantry for foods that go well with rhubarb. I usually keep my freezer stalked with a variety of frozen fruit, so when it comes to rhubarb, I was drawn to strawberries! Instead of a smoothie bowl, which I shared a couple of weeks ago, I decided to make my frozen mix in popsicle form!

Strawberry Rhubarb is a combination so delicious, it's perfect in all forms!
Ingredients
For the rhubarb compote:
- 1 rhubarb stalk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- lemon zest
For the popsicles:
- rhubarb compote
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 4 frozen half figs
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
-
To make the compote, chop the rhubarb into 1/2 inch pieces. Add the rhubarb, water, sugar and lemon zest to a pot.
-
Cover the pot and turn the burner on to medium heat.
-
Occasionally sir until the rhubarb breaks down and the compote thickens, roughly 10-15 minutes.
-
Pour the compote in a jar and let cool in the refrigerator.
-
In a food processor, add the frozen strawberries, frozen figs, rhubarb compote, and chia seeds. Pulse until well combined.
-
If the mixture is too thick slowly add some of the water.
-
Pour the mix into 4 popsicle holders.
-
Freeze overnight.
-
To remove the popsicles, run the mold under hot water. The popsicle will loosen from the mold.
