Rhubarb sauce

Mackerel with rhubarb and ginger, Tex-Mex potato wedges and tomatoes

This quick and easy sauce goes really well with fatty meat for fish such as pork, duck and mackerel and is equally as good as a dessert with a few sweet biscuits or a little custard.

What you don't use now can be frozen for later use.

Chef's notes

You may want more sugar than this - I like the sauce to be nice and sharp.
