Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce

I have a very healthy rhubarb plant. I am always looking for ways to use all that rhubarb. We made this the other night and served it over vanilla ice cream. It was delicious!

2/3 Cup White Sugar
1/2 Cup Orange Juice
5 Teaspoons Cornstarch
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
4 Cups Fresh Strawberries, Sliced
1 Cup Rhubarb, Sliced
5 Drops Red Food Coloring (Optional)

Combine sugar, orange juice, cornstarch, and vanilla in a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add strawberries and rhubarb; reduce heat and cook stirring occasionally, until tender 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and mash the cooked berries with a fork. Stir in food coloring. Serve warm or cold.
