Rhubarb ideas

I have loads of rhubarb growing and the question is what to do with it besides crumble and putting a sponge mix on top? I've chopped some up and frozen it. I also worry about the amount of sugar you have to add to make it edible. Any healthy ideas anyone?

When my mum makes rhubarb crumble she always forgets to put sugar in. So the end result is that everyone adds a bit at the table instead to suit personal taste. Don't have any other recipes though sorry.Baby Year 1: Oh dear...on the move

In the latest Asda ffree magazine they have a rhubarb meringue pie.
So you make pastry line a dish and then blind bake. Put cooked rhubarb in the middle and then cover with the meringue and then bake for 15 mins until set.

Try putting a few strawberries in with the rhubarb when you make crumble...you will need less sugar and its amazing what a difference they make to the flavour (and colour). I usually have some in the freezer, (no need to defrost), left over from the previous summer's glut.

my mum uses a herb - sweet cicely (sp?) - it has a sweet aniseed flavour.
When you cook the rhubarb you add in a few leaves and you can use less sugar. The aniseedy flavour doesn’t really affect the taste of the end dish as the rhubarb has a much stronger flavour, it just adds some sweetness.
Also you can eat the green unripe seed heads of sweet cicely like sweets.Your home is at risk if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured on it.0 -

What about Rhubarb Fool??

Method
1. Place the rhubarb, sugar, orange juice and enough water to cover the rhubarb in a medium saucepan. Boil rapidly until rhubarb is soft. Leave to cool.
2. In a bowl, fold the egg white into the whipped cream.
