I was taught (by and old aunt) cut the rhubarb up the night before, sprinkle with sugar and it draws the water out and becomes syrup then cook as is so no need to add water.

A fabulous way to use the syrup is to make a sorbet and add a few measures of your favourite single-malt. Same happens to strawberries and sugar left overnight on the bench. Something different to make, with the fruit in season.
Yum!!

Had a recipe for rhubarb chutney which was nice but my recipe book is in bus. Sadly the bus is being stored at a camp in the NI so not easily accesible .......... google may have it ........

Cant eat nuts but would love to give the cake a go when rhubarb plant has decent stalks on it ........... Normally use it for Apple and Rhubarb crumble. Wont buy rhubarb at the current price in the supermarket so will wait patiently for current plant to be a prolific producer .......... *sigh* ...........

I've always cut rhubarb up. But if you wanted a long dish you could use a fish poacher like this if it fits your oven. http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/fishing/fish-smokers-cookers

I made rhubarb and strawberry jam recently.. equal quantities of each, once cooked added sugar to taste.. check for setting.. just delicious.. and tonight I've preserved rhubarb and plums stewed together.. equal quantities.. the colour and flavour is amazing.. will definitely make both the jam and the preserves again..

Oh... for an easy way to cut the rhubarb, once stalks are cleaned, use kitchen scissors to chop to the size wanted.. so much easier than cutting through the strands of rhubarb... quickly done too..

Can plain yoghurt be used in place of sour cream in the cake recipe?

SPICE AND RHUBARB BUTTER BABY CAKES

225g soft unsalted butter
3/4 cup golden syrup
3 eggs
225g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cloves

COMPOTE:2 stalks rhubarb,sliced thinly ( I sliced on the diagonal)
55g caster sugar 1 tbsp water.
Combine rhubarb,sugar and water in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat. Reduce to low, cover and cook about 8 mins till rhubarb is soft.

Cream butter and golden syrup, add eggs, one at a time,mixing well after each addition. Sift over the flour,baking powder & spices. Stir well. Spoon into greased mini loaf pans ( the tray with eight) and then spoon 2 tsp of rhubarb compote along each centre. Bake at 180C for 12-15 minutes. I found that it was better to create a small "groove" along the length of each loaf and then put the compote lengthwise into the groove. The couple that I tried,without making a groove tended to have the rhubarb compte spread to the sides as they rose,whereas the grooved ones managed to keep the compte more concentrated in the centre. They were very moist,spicy and well worth making.

1 250 gram pottle sour cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Sift & stir gently into the above:
2 cups standard flour

Rhubarb Trifle! My mum's recipe but have converted many, even those who don't like rhubarb!
Cook up whatever you have available, add sugar and make quite a watery mixture! Cool and place in trifle type container. Add broken up sponge, maybe 2/3rd fill the container, press a little to soak in juice and pour over a red jelly, (any flavour) made as packet details. Can be left a few hrs., even overnight, top with custard, cream and whatever takes your fancy. Choc chips, strawberries! Sorry have been making for years so cannot explain actually measurements but very versatile, easy, even left overs next day!

I make a very similar cake to this & I add a sprig of finely chopped Rosemary & it's lovely.

I also have rhubarb all year - however the rhubarb season for EATING it is from spring to early summer (about 10 to 12 weeks.

From Christmas onwards up here in the North the content of oxalic acid gets higher and higher and as we all know that is not very good for your body and especially your bones.

So yes you can eat it all year if you like, I would not personally.

OK ... that's your choice ..I cook & eat it all year around & that's fine by me.
Maybe you should try it ...might make a difference.

It sounds rather good & have decided it's worth a try.

Um rhubarb reminds me of when as kids we would bip sticks of raw rhubarb into a bag of sugar and eat it, those were the days.

Rhubarb is so easy to grow, I often wonder how they can sell it for the price they do in the supermarket. Everyone should have a plant in the garden and if you have a compost bin plant it next to the compost they will grow like crazy.


Mine is beautiful atm ..with heaps of young tender stalks, the deluge of rain after a dry summer may have helped a lot.
Rhubarb loves a good feed so I give mine a couple of feeds of sheep manure per season.

$1 dollar a stalk?
*yikes*
That's extortion!

Hiya the best rhurbarb to buy in my opinion is the ruby red as its sweeter and the stalks are the deepest colour which looks absolutely stunning when made into anything especially the cordial.I also roast rhurbarb with sugar and strain the juice off and mix with whipped cream then place it on a pav and drizzle the syrup through it and I have to say its a match made in heaven rhubarb and pav!!!

When I cook rhubarb I do it in the microwave. I just wash and chop the stalks, add juice of half an orange (or a mandarin) and about 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Place in pyrex dish covered and cook on half power for 5mins at a time. When it is cooked if there is a lot of juice I mix about a teaspoon of gelatine in a little bit of boiling water and add it to the drained off juice.....voila...lovely rhubarb jelly to have with ice cream or cream.
