Soooo much rhubarb again this year!! I've made Rhubarb Bread, Rhubarb Muffins, Rhubarb Crisp, Rhubarb-Strawberry Jam, and Rhubarb Ketchup ... I might try Rhubarb Pickles tomorrow. I will post recipes if anyone is interested. :)

I'm going to pick all the rest that I have and take it to my sister.

QuiltE 06-09-2011 06:13 PM

When I have excess, I freeze it chopped, ready for use later.

And if I'm cramped for space, I will stew some up, and freeze it stewed.

Rhubarb crumble, yum!

I have a great recipe for pineapple rhubarb pie if your interester?

Elisabeth J 06-10-2011 04:12 AM

You are so lucky to have rubarb. I have to buy it frozen and then I have a hard time finding it. I once had a strawberry and rubarb pie that was to die for. Do you have that recipie. I have a couple bags of frozen rubarb in the freezer I'm dying to use.I know you are tired of rubarb but count your blessings. Thanks,
Elisabeth

I wish I lived closer- I would buy your excess! Mine doesn't produce well. I bought some at The grocery store for $3 a pound. It tasted really good in a crisp!

QuiltE 06-10-2011 04:13 AM

I love adding a handful or two to oatmeal when I am cooking it in the morning. Yes, in the au naturel state! mmmmmmmm

Please share your method for using the frozen chopped rhubarb. I did that, too, but read that it should be thawed before using. So I thawed it, added sugar and flour to thicken for pie filling, but it came out all watery from the frozen fruit. Do you squeeze out all the water after it thaws? It's like squeezing all the water out of chopped cooked spinach. There's almost nothing left.

How do you do it when you make a pie with frozen rhubarb? Thank you so much.

This sounds yummy....would love this recipe also! :)

Dakota Rose 06-10-2011 06:25 AM

Would love to have you post the recipes. Grew up in the north and now live in the south. Can't grow it in the south. Just paid $5/lb for some.

Zephyr 06-10-2011 06:33 AM

I've got lots of recipies.....but no rhubarb! Sure do get a taste for rhubarb.

blackbearbetty 06-10-2011 08:02 AM

I would like the Jam recipe also.

greaterexp 06-10-2011 08:09 AM

I'd love to see your recipes! I know there are tons of recipes online, but ones that are tried and true would be wonderful!

grannypat7925 06-10-2011 08:23 AM

Cut it up and freeze it for later. Works great!

MinnieKat 06-10-2011 10:12 AM

I've PM'd some of you with recipes ... I will post several recipes in a separate post ... so keep an eye out for it. :)

dixiechunk 06-10-2011 10:44 AM

Okay, for all of you out there who are thinking it but too polite to say it...YUK!
Had a distant relative (long dead these many years now) who used to pawn her rhubarb pie off on everyone. I can still feel the gag reflex coming on. Slimy, nasty, icky...might as well make okra pie.

ButtermilkMama 06-10-2011 11:33 AM

We have so much Rhubarb and some goes to waste. I would love your recipes, if you would like to share. Please and Thank You.

DanaNVa 06-10-2011 11:57 AM

My niece cooks it like apple sauce with sugar and adds it to yogurt. We love it but pie or crisp is our favorite

bbeyes 06-10-2011 01:39 PM

I planted Rhubarb last year here in S. CA and didn't realize it doesn't stop producing in the winter so I have it all year and really sick of it but my husband loves it so can't get rid of the stupid plant. So I know how you feel.

chris_quilts 06-10-2011 01:50 PM

Strawberry Rhubarb pie recipe can be found on the Minute tapioca box. I always use both more rhubabrb and strawberries than recipe calls for but it does make a great pie. I grew up eating that pie as did all my siblings annd some of us love it while others hate it. Strange. I do freeze my rhubarb and then use it frozen in my pies or crisps cuz we like it whenever and not just when rhubabrb is in season. I have 1 substantial patch and one that's fixing to become substantial. BTW: My DD's generally don't eat the pies b/c of the rhubarb.

ncredbird 06-10-2011 02:32 PM

This subject was discussed recently and a lot of great recipes posted on the board here:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-129435-1.htm

I filed a lot of them in my MasterCook for future reference. Ann in TN

I LOVE RHUBARB! Used to have it in the yard up north, but it wont grow where I live in SC - so sad! I do miss this and lilacs from up north. Used to make all kinds of things from it, sharet

My Mom's Rhubarb Pie recipe is as follows:
Put 3 cups of chopped rhubarb into unbaked pie shell. Beat together 1 cup sugar, 2 Tablespoons flour and 2 eggs. Pour beaten mixture over rhubarb. Bake 400 degrees for about 30 minuts.

I also found recipes at http://www.rhubarbinfo.com/recipes

Thanks Dana! That recipe sounds so simple, I think I'll give it a try before I give away all the rest of my rhubarb. :)

Edited: Forgot to ask ... do you put a top crust on your pie?

LOL dixiechunk!! I think you're the only person I know that doesn't like rhubarb! How long has it been since you tried it? Maybe your tastebuds have changed ... maybe your relative didn't know how to cook rhubarb, maybe that's why you didn't like it!?!?! :)

dixiechunk 06-11-2011 12:14 PM

Oh, no doubt about the fact that this woman may have not been the best cook (although my cousin, her grandson, thought she was the best cook in the world!) and my tastes certainly may have changed but not enough to actually buy rhubarb and cook it myself. If someone said "here try this" I would, but honestly, I don't know a single person in this neck of the woods who makes any rhubarb dishes.

No. It has Pennsylvania German roots, and they don't put top crusts on many of their fruit/rhubarb pies.

JudyMN 06-12-2011 04:37 PM
