Yum. My mouth is watering and I am remembering how much I like the stuff! Thanks lostinrates.

You're welcome!

If you are dieting you can also use the oven method with some ginger, and perhaps some cardomon or fivespice then sweeten JUST ENOUGH with a little honey or if you must, artificial sweetener. I've done this and its ok as far as diet rhubarb goes. I need spice to mask the ''weird'' sweetener sweetness.

rhubarb jam
same weight of sugar as fruit, juice of 1/2 lemon. Dissolve slowly then boil until at setting stage. I added a wee sprinkle of ginger as well.
Very tasty!

rhubarb also freezes well, just cut into small chunks first.

If the other lady has not bought her rhubarb yet, ask her to buy some other fruit and do a swap.

Rhubarb icecream? We made a couple of batches last summer and are just getting down the last of it. Recipe was off the web from Delia I think (its the one with a sort of crumble stuff to go alongside it).

I grow a lot of rhubarb so as already suggested I make rhubard jam, tarts, chutneys, fools and crumbles with it. You will be able to serve it with meat too (but as a veggi I have never tried this).

As an aside it might still be worth you making the rhubarb crumble as not everyone likes plum crumble. I like plums and I love crumble, but hate warm / hot plums and so would never eat a plum crumble.

So alternative ideas for rhubarb are welcome.

Rhubarb and ginger jam

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread to give you more ideas.

Someone made us rhubarb and ginger jam from a glut we had in the summer, was so tasty! lovely warmed up on porridge or natural yoghurt


There was a recipe for a sort of rhubarb trifle in the latest sainsburys magazine, had a "marshmallow" topping
