With prices at $6.00 a pound- (ok, farm girls , laugh ) it is a luxury, but now it's $2.49 a pound. Is $25.00 too much to spend on rhubarb? I'll make crisp & eat it for breakfast!! Molly wants a custard [pie. Lily asks How many points?Michael says Can I take the rest home? Would you believe I have a whole cookbook dedicated to rhubarb?

Wish you were closer, Id give you a bunch...but it is so good, I would buy it too!

I love it, but I have never cooked with it.

Rhubarb custard pie sounds sooooo good. My mom used to make it often each summer. It's about my favorite pie and very fond memories of Mom.

Happy Eating

Come for a visit and go home with all you'd like!

Hpw far east are you in Pa? We'll be attending a reunion at the end of June ?!

We are only a couple miles from the NJ Border

I don't think $25.00 is too much to spend if you love it. My dad has some in his yard. He gives it to me because he knows I'll make him some rhubarb crisp.

I can't find fresh rhurbarb here. We use to eat it out of the garden when I was a kid. We would make strawberry rhurbarb pies. I loved them.

It is really good with canned crushed pineapple in a pie too!

Did you try the rhubarb cake recipe I posted here? I just love it and it is a big hit with my family and friends...

Cake sounds good. Would it work with frozen rhurbarb, I can't get fresh.

Yummo!!

enjoy it

Gosh i do not know...never used frozen except when I make sauce ..then i just use it for jam or on ice cream ete

Ooooo now I am hungry for rhubarb crisp :D:D:D
We froze it and used it just like fresh :wink:

Would you share the rhubarb custard pie recipe? My rhubarb is just starting to come in.
Many thanks,

Your recipe sounds delicious, but under procedure you say "for topping, combine beat cream cheese, eggs and sugar" but in ingredients you list only the cheese, 1/2 c. water and whipped cream. How much eggs and sugar shld it be?

I love rhubarb!!! I make rhubarb crisp.

I started making individual servings in large pyrex custard cups. Portion control or I'd eat 1/2 a recipe in 1 sitting!
Cut a few calories by using crushed graham crackers instead of pie crust. Still wonderful.

hank you, Molly! Will try it next week!
Hugs,

Linda R - That sounds wonderful - get it would also make a dynamite holiday JAM worthy of gift giving. Gonna give it a try.. Thanks!

These pie recipes have my mouth watering! Can't wait to try them all.

I don't have much success with growing rhubarb in the ground at our place, but I did recently find an article which said it is fine in a giant pot..so I'm off to buy some plants as soon as I can. Rhubarb is absolutely beautiful...and these recipes have given me cravings!!!

eewww, at the local nursery they were having a Rhubarb festival. Some lady offered me rhubarb tea. Without thinking......I said I hate rhubarb. .......lol...She goes, well I have other teas......haha

My Mom loves it.

My DH & I make jams & jellies for the local farm stands. A few years ago we made Rhubarb Jam & sold so little it didn't pay to make it! We make about 1500 - 1800 jars a year, so----.

ok thanks just popped it in the oven, it's smelling mighty good!
;-)

It is too hot to put the oven on. I have to google for microwave rhubarb recipes!

I freeze extra from my patch every year. It works in cake or crisp, or whatever, just as well as fresh. Yummy. :D

Patti

Thanks, we can sometimes find frozen rhurbarb,

I made this and added one package of cherry jello to the ingredients. It came out wonderful.

that would be even more flavor...will have to try it.

I cut up and froze fresh rhubarb and when I wanted to make a pie with it, I thawed and drained it (but did not squeeze the liquid out - just let it drain in a colander until it was thawed. Then I made the pie just like I would have if I was using fresh rhubarb, used the same amount and type of thickener, sugar, etc. It came out so watery and soupy - it was a mess and the fruit was so expensive - I was really upset. The only thing I can blame is the thawed out rhubarb.

Does anyone know what I did wrong? Has anyone successfully used frozen rhubarb to make a two-crusted pie? Did it turn out? Please help!
