How are you Using your Rhubarb?

I could recommend rhubarb soup

or served with potatoes.

Bumping this up since it soon will be rhubarb season where I am. I dehydrated rhubarb last year. I shook it in sugar before and after. They were like delicious sour candies my son could not eat enough. A great way to use up extra.

Oooh! Did you cut it in small pieces first? Or after dehydrating?

I do something similar. I cut rhubarb into sugar to make rhubarb syrup, then fish out the pieces to dehydrate. I cut them about 1/3 inch thick.

I have a seedling rhubarb come up from some old seed, now I just have to decide where it will live!

How can anyone eat a pie or crumble without custard anyway? This is unhinged.

What? I’ve never even heard of having custard with either!
Except Halloween when Gma makes egg custard, pumpkin pie (just the filling), and there is vanilla ice cream is there if you want it.

Vanilla ice cream is basically frozen custard

I once had the waiter at the Opryland Hotel offer me a frozen souffle.

I never thought about it, but yeah! :slight_smile:

My wife just made some rhubarb upside down cake. It was really good. I had pineapple upside down cake when I was a kid, but never rhubarb.

Back in the day, I would use raw rhubarb like a lot of Mexican guys use a lime with Tequila: Shot, bite, salt. It worked pretty well.

@TheDerek My grandfather lived in N Dakota for awhile. He would say, “You people from California think you’re so fancy. You’ve got all those kinds of fruit. Well, we’ve got a lot of fruit in North Dakota, too, but it’s all rhubarb!”

One of my clients at work recommended I add in strawberry jello mix and less sugar to boiling rhubarb prior to freezing>>> More or less instant ‘strawberry rhubarb’ pie filling. I haven’t tried it yet but did boil down and freeze some rhubarb I’ve been adding to ice cream as a topping with good results.
