When we moved this month, I left behind all my rhubarb plants at the old house.
But, I did get the first harvest of spring (and if I wanted to…I could sneak in another harvest before the houses closes. Hah!). Not everyone loves rhubarb, and if anything are scared by it. It is sour and has its own flavor to be sure. Beyond strawberry-rhubarb pie or crisp, it can be “what do I do with this?”
And there is so much you can use it! Lop off the leaves on top and start slicing thinly. Dinner, breakfast and dessert…
Rhubarb & Pineapple Coconut Oatmeal
Rhubarb Blueberry Cinnamon Honey Jam
Individual Rhubarb-Strawberry Crumbles
Oat & Flax Pancakes with Maple Rhubarb Sauce
Gorgeous. Must have been hard to leave those behind.
Wow we are like neighbors…lol. We are just south of Olympia and the area is so green and lovely. Absolutely love rhubarb. I made some rhubarb sauce that was superb. 4 to 6 cups chopped rhubarb Reduced in about 1 cup marmalade or just brown sugar w/orange or lemon juice about half an hour. Drizzle over ice cream was the guys faves. I prefer frozen yogurt. So GUD!!! Gonna do up some for canning this year. Love your blog 😉
