ADDITIONAL RECIPES:
Rhubarb Sauce:
4-6 stalks of fresh rhubarb (sliced)
1/4 cup xylitol (you can use any sugar substitute)
1/4 cup water

Place ingredients in a small saucepan, cook until rhubarb softens and breaks apart while stirring often. Finished sauce should resemble cooked applesauce, set aside to cool.

CoConut Jicama:
1/2 half of medium sized jicama
1 cup Torani Sugar Free Coconut Syrup

Cut ends off of jicama, then cut in half. Set one half aside. Using the other half, carefully strip away the outer peel, then shred. Place shredded jicama in small storage bag, add 1 cup sugar free coconut syrup, securely seal and place in refrigerator for 24 hours. Occasionally turn bag so that the syrup will be evenly distributed over the jicama.
