Autumn Propagation Tip

It just may turn out that for your variety of rhubarb, it would have been better to wait for Spring afterall.

Like everything else, it's all trial and error.

Rhubarb Cleaning Tip

(as opposed to cleaning any other time?)

I found a good cleaning tip using rhubarb,in addition to some of the many other good uses pointed out on the site.

Do you have hard-water stains in your bathroom sink, tub or toilet? High iron content in water can be the culprit.

Well, apparently you can chop up a rhubarb leaf and let it soak in a plain bottle of white vinegar to make a great mineral stain removing solution. Let it sit overnight, and then try spraying the stains the next day. Let them soak for awhile, and then wipe. This is supposed to work extremely well.

A Few New Fall-Type Recipes

3 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb
1 1/4 cups Splenda Sweetener (Granular)
2/3 cup water
Sugar-Free strawberry or raspberry jello (smallest package)
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
Lemon zest (optional)

Method:

Combine the rhubarb and Splenda and place in a saucepan.
Let this mixture sit overnight covered well.

Add water and over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil.
Remember to stir frequently for approximately 20 minutes.

Remove from heat, and add the jello and lemon. Keep refrigerated.

Rhubarb And Sara Lee

1 Sara Lee Golden Pound Cake
1/2 cup coconut(sweet or unsweetened) 3 cups chopped rhubarb
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup white sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla

Begin by cutting your Sara Lee Cake into equal slices, depending on how many you would like to serve. Cover with foil and put into a pre-heated oven. Set the oven at 200F. If you wish, you can heat up and toast the coconut at the same time, by spreading it out on a cookie sheet. Toss the coconut occasionally.

As the cake is warming through, combine all other ingredients in a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally and turn the heat down. Let simmer until rhubarb is tender.

Place the cake on individual plates, and spoon out rhubarb mixture over top. Sprinkle with toasted or plain coconut.

Well, not everyone likes rhubarb. Actually, not everyone can "stomach" it for more reasons than one. Like many other foods, it has some negative effects as well. This lady manages to talk about it in a humorous way. Check out this post for a chuckle or two.
