Rhubarb

Any recipes for rhubarb?
Thanks

other than rhubarb/strawberry pie (yuk), I've never heard of anything you could do with that weed, er plant. But I'll bet ya Chelle or Erin comes thru with something!

This is an old one from a church recipe book that my mom has. I'm not a big fan of rhubarb, but I don't mind this if there's enough gin in it!

INGREDIENTS
6 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
2 cups white sugar
1 (6 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 cup gin (optional)
3 cups water
1 (2 liter) bottle Wink/Sprite/Mountain Dew, chilled (I like Wink best)
Gin or vodka to taste


DIRECTIONS
Place rhubarb in a large saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until tender. Drain and mash or puree in a blender.
Stir together the rhubarb puree, sugar, orange juice concentrate, lemonade concentrate, gin and water. Freeze. Place scoops of the frozen mixture into serving glasses, and fill the rest of the glass with lemon-lime soda.

Crust for 2 crust pie ( means you need 2 crusts)
4 c. cut rhubarb
1 tbsp. quick cooking tapioca ( I use cornstarch, don't like tapiyucka)
1 c. white sugar
1/2 c. flour
1 pkg. frozen strawberries, thawed
( I add a touch of lemon juice, but that's just me)

Prepare rhubarb and cut in 1 inch pieces for pie. Place in bowl and add sugar and flour and toss lightly; let set for 10 minutes. Sprinkle tapioca over bottom crust and add rhubarb. Add frozen strawberries spreading evenly over rhubarb mixture. Dot opening in top. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake 20 or 25 minutes until golden brown.

DO NOT do what I did the first time and accidently use Rutabaga.....it is NOT the same thing, really it isn't.

I use rhubarb in a crisp or cobbler or pie- my family loves it. There is also a recipe fore rhubarb conserve with pineapple, raisins, nuts- can't remember it all. You can also make a freezer jam with the rhubarb and strawberry jello- very easy. If you need a particular recipe, please let me know. Have a recipe for a whole wheat rhubarb cobbler that is good.

I finally found a great recipe for rhubarb muffins/loaves and when I went up the road to pick up the rhubarb; well - it was spent, done in, baked by the sun. Here is the recipe.

Rhubarb Muffins or Loaves - Canadian Living Magazine

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups chopped rhubarb
Topping:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preparation:
In large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In separate bowl, blend sugar with oil; whisk in egg, buttermilk, and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients along with rhubarb just until flour is incorporated. Spoon into greased or paper-lined muffin tins, filling three-quarters full, or spoon into two greased 8 x 4 inch loaf pans.

Topping: Combine sugar, butter, and cinnamon; sprinkle over batter. Bake 350F oven for 20 to 25 minutes for muffins, 40 to 45 minutes for loaves. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to let cool completely.
