I have two crowns that are from crowns that have been in the family for 60 years at least. I take it with me when I move, always being sure to leave some behind for the next owner.

Note never to eat the leaves. They contain Oxalic acid which is poisonous.

Yep, raw is fine dipped in sugar, very astringent if not

DH came home with quite a lot of rhubarb from his mum a few days ago.
Going to decide what to do with it tomorrow. I don't eat it, but I cook it for him as he loves it. I normally add some ginger syrup to it and he has it with custard.
Good wife me!

I recently made a delicious pudding by covering chopped sweetened rhubarb with a lemon drizzle sponge. I put the grated lemon zest in the sponge mix and when it was cooked, drizzled over the lemon juice and sugar mixture. It was served with lashings of custard.

Its still in the freezer
I now have ginger too so when i get chance it will be rhubarb abd ginger jam, might just steal a bit though to have as a desert.

I tasted a bit before i froze it and although its not been sweetened its really nice just as it is.
