Never really got the hang of rhubarb....is there any way of cooking it that doesn't involve a stack of sugar?

You could cook the rhubarb and mix with a sweeter fruit, like dessert apples etc to sweeten it.
Rhubarb for myself, nice crumble..................... with sugar.

My mum follows Delia's recipe, but cuts back on the sugar and has even just used the juice of the zested orange as a replacement: http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/cuisine/european/french/rhubarb-compote.html
The orange zest is a good extra. Another alternative is honey as the sugar replacement (also not tried it but a nutrition person on Radio 5live recently mentioned Maple Syrup better than Honey - so could be worth experimenting!)

Peel and include the white root bit of the stem when you cook it, it's where the natrual sugar's are.hth

Picked up some rhubarb today.

I noticed they have gammon steaks for only 99p for 2 small steaks. 250g packs I believe. Bought a few pack of both smoked and unsmoked.

Aldi was very busy today and had sold out of the pears (super 6).

I use honey when I cook rhubarb which sweetens it naturally I find.but then I use honey when I cook most fruit,apples etc.Doesn't have to be expensive stuff either the basic jar of honey does the same job in stewed fruit.or even at a pinch if I run short some golden syrup although I found it made it too sweet
I find that if I run short of something I will try to find a substitute if I can rather than going out to buy a replacement staright away.:):):) God I am a frugal old bird :):)

Not cheap really as Aldi do a 500g packet of green grapes for £1.39.

Cheaper places are Sainsburys at £1.25 and Farmfoods at £1.

Only thing with the cheaper grapes are they tend to be smaller and mainly from India.
