What to make with rhubarb?
« on: May 26, 2010, 05:51:29 pm »
Any ideas on what to make with rhubarb (apart from crumble). I have been given a load and have been offered the roots when they have died back and they are quite big so i should have a good supply each year.

Jam, particularly rhubarb and ginger, stores well.

I made a rhubarb cake the other day from a book written in support of the farmers benevolant fund. will look out the recipe later but its basically chopped finely rhubarb with sultana's flour etc - becomes like a fruit cake with a rhubarb tang to it. very nice. had to add some mixed spice though as recipe looked a little plain for my kids' likeing on its own  :)

Rhubarb sauce goes well with savoury food such as lamb too.

and a nice easy pud is to cook the rhubarb in a little sugar (to taste, depending on how sweet it already is) and puree it, then pour over ice cream (home made if poss)  My teeth are watering at the thought!  Yum yum.

I made a cracking rhubarb and marrow chutney last year. All chutney making is a similar process so I adapted it from old recipes. I can write it up and post if anyone is interested.
