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?

1. Place the rhubarb into a saucepan with a drop of water and add the sugar. Cook on a medium heat, until softened.

2. Add the shallots, spices, garlic and tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes.

3. Add the red wine vinegar and lemon juice and zest. Simmer for 2 hours, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Check for seasoning and leave to cool. Store in clean, airtight jars.

I am looking for ideas to use up some rhubarb. I have access to a HUGE rhubarb patch and am trying desperately to keep it under control before it starts turning a bit rough.

I love things like stewed rhubarb, crumble, pie. I still have some jam from last years crop and friends are constantly getting handed a bag to use up.

I have found a recipe for rhubarb and date chutney and another serving it roasted as a side with roast pork.

I did think about making wine but don't have demijohns any more and don't really have the space to store them whilst bubbling away, other than setting up a road-side stall does anyone have any other ideas or uses for rhubarb.

Suggestions please :T

Rhubarb vodka sounds interesting - google rhubodka and you should find a good recipe!

Wow - who knew how versatile rhubarb could be, I like the sound of some of the savoury recipes and will definitely give the rhubarb sauce/ketchup and the rhubarb and beetroot soup a go, it will make a change from endless pies & crumbles; a gal can only eat so much stewed rhubarb.

Thanks so much Pink-winged :T

Katep23 - I have only ever tried doing the hairy bikers christmas pudding flavoured vodka, but rhubodka sounds rather interesting - off to search in the cupboards, I'm sure I have bottle of vodka lurking in there somewhere :beer:

Try rhubarb, raisin and ginger muffins. I know it sounds weird but they are delicious :drool:

Rhubarb and ginger compote is delicious, especially served over ice cream!
