I've never tried rhubarb. I'll have to see if I can find some at the fruit stand and make this recipe.

Oh, that sounds nummy. And it's one more thing to do with rhubarb.

Messymimi - rhubarb is very good - very tart and refreshing!

Leah - it is pretty good!

That looks delicious. I love rhubarb in any way, shape or form. Cooked, that is. Not raw. Although when we were kids we'd dip raw rhubarb in sugar and eat it. Now the mere thought makes my mouth pucker up....

Cheryl - we used to eat it that way, too, but I haven't for many years. Not sure if I still could.

Oh, YUMMY!!

I don't have any rhubarb here in my garden. When we move back to the PacNW, I'm going to grow a big patch of it! Home-canned rhubarb sauce is a winter pick-me-up.
