Directions

Place the rhubarb, maple syrup, and water in a microwave-safe ceramic or Pyrex bowl. Cover with a ceramic plate and cook in the microwave on high for 2 minutes.
Remove and uncover carefully — there will be steam. Stir in the strawberries, cover with the plate again, and return to the microwave. Cook on high heat for 2 more minutes, or 3 more minutes if using frozen strawberries.
Remove from the microwave, uncover very carefully and stir well. Cover with the plate again and cook on high for 1 more minute. Let sit in the microwave to steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or chilled. Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
