Steamed Apples and Rhubarb (Microwave)

 

1 pound fresh rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 pound Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp grated orange zest

1/2 tsp ground dried ginger

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

 

In a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole, combine rhubarb and apples.

In a separate bowl, combine and mix well the sugar, zest, ginger and

nutmeg. Sprinkle over rhubarb and apples. Toss well to coat them evenly.

 

Cover with plastic wrap (leave a small vent on 1 side so that steam can

escape). Microwave on HIGH for 9 to 12 minutes, until rhubarb and apples

are tender. Rotate the dish 1/4 turn every 4 minutes.

 

Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
