Ever-since I can remember, rhubarb was a gardening favorite with my Grandparents in their backyard and they faithfully tended it.
As necessary, it was picked numerous times over the season, cleaned,
chopped, bagged, and frozen. Their freezer was always full.
They had such a wonderful garden, and certainly not fancy by any
means.
Except for the occasional pie which my Mother made for them, I don't recall it
being served any other way but cold out of the fridge, (stewed) and served in a bowl with dry toast.
But that was the way they liked it.

More times often than not, we accepted what was given to us
just
to be polite. I know I did.
But, I just didn't realize what
more I could do with it at the time other than make a pie.
What more to do with this sour-produce, was always a good question!
Did you know that it is widely referred to as the pie-plant?
Or, rheum-rhaponticum, to be botanically correct, refers to the ordinary garden-type.
My Grandparents are gone now, and we no longer have access to that wonderful
supply! I am now growing more of my own, and discovering that you really
can do alot more than simply stew it and eat it with a spoon.
Thankyou for visiting, and perhaps consider growing your own Rhubarb Garden. There are so many different varieties out there to pick from.
Read up on the many interesting bits and pieces of trivia there is to know about this plant.
Or,
give some of these dishes a try. You just may be pleasantly surprised to discover
that this sour but tangy fruit can produce the best cobblers, coffee cakes, and even
cookies to name a few. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Some excellent culinary tips and helpful pastry techniques can come in handy when making your favorite strawberry rhubarb pies.
In addition, there is a variety of recipes here for muffins, cakes, crisps, tarts and a whole lot more.
At the end of the day? Treat yourself to a cocktail.
Have you ever tried a bellini or a mojito made with your rhubarb?
Be sure to see Holiday Baking for lots of ideas in addition to
everyday cooking as well.
Did you know you can make dressing to go with your Easter or Christmas turkey?
ENJOY! THIS IS GOOD STUFF!
