Rhubarb

[Kateri-Marie]

Hello, does anyone have any recipes with rhubarb in them? I have a ton of Rhubarb that needs to be eaten. Thanks!

• RHUBARB LEMONADE SYRUP Servings: 20
• 8 cups chopped rhubarb
• 3 cups granulated sugar (I plan on using Splenda)
• 3 tbsp. grated lemon rind
• 1 1/2 cups lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

In a large saucepan, stir together 3 cups of water, rhubarb, sugar and lemon rind, bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved and rhubarb breaks up, about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.

Strain through a fine sieve, pressing out liquid. Let cool.

To serve, add 3 parts water to 1 part syrup, serve over ice.

Makes about 20 servings.

Syrup is fine in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks. But I freeze mine. It makes a great granita.(like a snow cone) place in metal pan and freeze. stir every hour for 3 hours. Very tart and sweet.

PS. I'm in Campbellford if you run out of Rhubarb

Hi Kateri-Marie, I posted a recipe for a Lunar Rhubarb Cake that is delicious. Try that one! And also one for Rhubarb Oat Bars is also a favorite, I also have a lot of rhubarb and I freeze a lot also to use all year, until the next season. I love rhubarb and strawberry pie. Yum!!!!!

Oh my goodness, I am trying the rhubarb oat bars right now! My mouth is watering already! Thank you so much, Lovetobake45!!!

Sometimes I combine rhubarb with strawberries and make a syrup (sugar and water) to simmer them in until tender. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens up the flavor, too. While still hot, pour into a jar and refrigerate, or use right away and pour into a pie shell and top with a lattice crust top!
