Cooking Rhubarb

lka200

Thankyou all for the quick replies. think i will cook it for 5 mins as the stalks are massive and very thick so that should give them a head start.
Thanks again..will let you know how it goes!

A pinch or bicarb reduced the acidity of fruit - it works!

I love chopped 'block' dates cooked with the rhubarb.

However, the pinch or bicarb and sugar to taste or just sugar to taste. It does take a lot of sugar to sweeten rhubarb, especially after the first delicate pink stuff. It is worth it, it is rich in vitamin C and fibre.

I like to use dates. When I was young, my mum used to put a few cubes of strawberry jelly in with it.

My exOH used to like it raw with a wee poke of sugar to dip it into (like a super sour sherbet dip)

Also, mix up a batch of plain muffin mix, put half a muffin's worth of mix in each case, add a teaspoon of rhubarb cooked down in sugar/water, add the other half muffin's worth of mix, sprinkle with brown sugar and bake 15 - 20 mins.

Fab straight out of oven with ice cream/cream for pud and leftovers good for next day breakfast.
