?? Will you PLease share your Rhubarb Recipes ??
 

LOVE Rhubarb, but I'm looking for new recipes. Tried & true family goodies! My husband wants nothing much more than 'his mothers' Rhubarb custard. I LOVE it! , but I need something else sometimes..will you share? I'll start:

Lizzie's Rhubarb Custard
1 1/2 cps sugar
3 Tbls flour
3 egg yolks }Blend all ingrediants well
1 Tbls butter
1 cp milk
3 cps Rhubarb * cut rhubarb thin
Put cut rhubarb in unbaked 9" pie shell. Pour custard mix over rhubarb & bake 375* for 50 minutes. Top with meringue & brown as desired.
Meringue
3 egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla } Beat together til soft peaks form
1/4 tsp cream of tartar


6 Tbls sugar } Gradually add sugar,
continue to beat til stiff glossy peaks form
& all sugar is dissolved

I make applesauce with rhubarb in the pressure cooker. No sugar, just a touch of water. Tart and delicious!

Approximately what proportions of rhubarb to apples? 50/50 or ??

Why not try Rhubarb Brulee? Cook rhubarb as normal , put in bottom of flameproof dish , mix equal amounts of rhubarb yoghurt and double (thick cream) pour over the top , then sprinkle brown sugar over it and place under a very hot grill, top goes all crunchy yum :)

Forgot to say you can use any flavour yoghurt , I experimented a lot :)

These are my 2 favourites, the pie is outstanding and the dessert is wonderful. My rhubarb is ready to be picked- maybe a pie for Mother's Day!

Rhubarb Custard Pie

1 ½ cups white sugar
¼ cup all purpose flour
¾ tsp nutmeg
3 eggs, slightly beaten
4 cups fresh rhubarb (not frozen)
2 tbsp butter

Mix the eggs, sugar, nutmeg and flour together. Add rhubarb. Pour into a large pastry lined pie plate. Dot with butter. Roll out a top crust and make a few holes in it (or make a lattice top), put it on the top and crimp the sides. Brush top crust with a little milk and sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake at 400* for 50-60 minutes.
This is the best pie!!

Rhubarb Dessert

1 ½ cups all purpose flour
3 tbsp sugar
¾ cup butter
Mix together and spread in a 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350* for 15 minutes.

4 egg yolks
1 ¼ cup sugar
¾ cup milk
1tsp vanilla
3 tbsp flour
5 cups rhubarb
Mix the first 5 ingredients together, add rhubarb. Pour over hot bottom. Bake at 350* for 45 minutes.

4 egg whites
6 tbsp sugar
Make a meringue and spread over the hot filling. Bake another 10 minutes until browned.
Oh my, I love this. The meringue separates a bit when it cools but that doesn’t matter. It may not be the prettiest dessert, but it sure is one of the best tasting.

You are making me so hungry for rhubarb. I live here in Florida and can't grow it.

We use to make a rhubarb sauce by adding a bit of water to cut up rhubarb and sugar. Cook it down and serve over angel food cake. Depending on how tart you like our sauce depends on how much sugar you add. We just covered the bottom of the pan with water.

My MIL would put bite-size rhubarb in a 9 x 9" baking dish and then put a Jiffy white cake mix over it and bake as per directions. Easy and very good.

Rhubard recipes
 

Rhubarb pie:
1½ c. sugar
1/3 c. flour
4 c. rhubarb(cut into small pieces)
½ tsp.almond flavoring
2 Tbutter to dot the top of the filling before putting on the top crust
<o:p </o
Bake at425 for 10 mins, reduce to 350, and bake. I think it’s 35 to 45 mins. Ifthe filling is frozen it will take longer. I consider the pie done when thereare bubbles coming from the holes I poked in the top crust.

Rhubarb Jello Dessert (free on Weight Watchers)
Cook a couple cups of rhubarb with enough water to keep it from sticking, until it makes a sauce. Add sugar free raspberry jello to sweeten it and an additional cup of water-up to 2 c. if the sauce wasn’t real watery. Chill in the frig until it just starts to set. Beat or stir in up to a container of Cool Whip Free. It can be put in the frig to set upagain, or spread in a pan and frozen. Makes a wonderful frozen dessert.

I have The Joy of Rhubarb cookbook. It has many good recipes and is available on Amazon for $9.87. If you Google "rhubarb cookbooks" you'll find several. Not the same as recipes from folks here, but if you have lots of rhubarb, you might be okay with the investment. I love looking at cookbooks, but don't USE them, if you catch my drift. LOL

put 3 to 4 cups cut-up rhubarb in unbaked pie shell--sprinkle about 1/4th cup sugar over top--then sprinkle a small 3ounce size pkg of DRY strawberry or raspberry jello over top. Make crumb topping of 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter and spread over top of filling. Bake about 45 min at 350 degrees. Is really juicy so use a pie saver pan under the pie when baking. Delish!!!!

My father-in-laws female friend used to make a rhubarb cake and we have moved, plus she passed away several years ago, as did my father-in-law. I cannot find that cake recipe - it was great. Does anyone have it?

I have a recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Jam that is very good and so easy..

5 cups chopped Rhubarb, 2-1/2 cups sugar (I use half sugar half Splenda).
Bring to a boil, cook until pieces have softened.
Add one 3 oz box of Strawberry Jello
Cook 3 minutes on slow boil, stirring a little.

Sterilize small jelly jars and lids. Put jam in jars and tighten cap,
turn upside down for a while to keep tops hot, then turn upright
until tops snap.

I have made double recipe, since the original one only makes
about 3-4 small jelly jars... Good way to use up all of that Rhubarb
and tastes so good.

This is a really good coffee cake type of cake, not sure it is what you want but it is worth trying. Another of my favs.
Lunar Rhubarb Cake
This is from Canadian Living Magazine about 20 years ago

½ cup butter
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups (or a bit more) rhubarb, fresh or frozen
1 tbsp flour

Cream butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Sift together the flour, soda and salt. Add alternately to creamed mixture with the buttermilk. Make 3 dry and 2 liquid additions. Toss rhubarb with the 1 tbsp flour and add to mixture. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan.

Topping:
¼ cup butter
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
Mix together and sprinkle on top of the batter. When it bakes, some of the topping will sink in and make craters- like on the moon I guess.
Bake at 350* for 45 minutes.

Do you need to add anything to the cakemix or just spread it over the rhubarb dry?

Rhubarb, I yesterday was sharing with my grandson (studding to be a chef) from my old recipe book put together by Thunder Butte Extension Club..1938-1978..It has 4 Rhubarb recipes in it.

Can't grow rhubarb in Atlanta, Ga either. So many wonderful memories of my Mom's garden full of it and all the things she made. My Dad liked rhubarb juice and Mom would can it to use all year. A resteraunt in my home town served the best rhubarb pie. I am sure it must have been the sour cream custard one but it had walnuts in it. Can buy it here but it is sometimes $6.00/lb for 4-5 little stalks.

Orange Rhubarb Bread(quick) from Taste of Home.com So Yummy!!
Can use frozen rhubarb too.

Orange Rhubarb Bread
 

Did you post the recipe and did I miss it??

My favorite thing to do with Rhubarb is make juice. I cook cut up rhubarb in a sauce pan with water just to cover until tender and strain the juice from the strings. It is a beautiful pink. Then I pour it into ice cubes trays and freeze it into cubes. For a extremely refreshing summer drink pour yourself a glass of gingerale and add two or three of these ice cubes. Yum. You can sweeten the warm juice with any preferred sweetener if you wish. This is the best.

This Rhubarb Tart looks so delicious.

I just planted rhubarb this summer. Can't wait til it produces enough to make some of these yummy recipes that have been shared.

go to www.rhubarbinfo.com more recipes than you can ever use! Enjoy!

I make about the same thing just a little water and lots of rhubarb. I keep checking the flavor to see how much sugar. I like my sauce tart and put it on cereal, ice cream or what ever. I have 30 feet of the stuff. I will see if I can find my recipe for pickles. They are a sweet sour bread and butter style they have a little crunch, but the are pink!

You have me intrigued ... Do hope you will please share this recipe!


When making my stewed rhubarb, I use little water, and once softened down, then add some red jello powder, and sugar to taste. The jello helps keep it from being too runny, plus of course, makes it a pretty pink.

Rhubarb Pickles???
 

I do hope you can find and will share this recipe. I Usually have a lot of Rhubarb but it is just barely peaking through so is really late like the rest of our spring!!!

Thank-you for this website!!!
I have 8 rhubarb plants...and give lots away...at this time, I am not eating sugar, so glad to find some recipes that I can make to use some of the rhubarb...a pilaf, salad, chicken, and more that use rhubarb.

You can substitute splenda in making stewed rhubarb ... and many other rhubarb recipes too.

I found the recipe for the pickles. The first time I made them I was out of the mustard seed so I just substituted 2 Tbs. of mixed pickle spice for the spices an added the cinnamon stick.

Wash the rhubarb and cut into 1″ chunks. Pack into 2-1 pint canning jars that have been sterilized first. Add the dried chilies to the jars also, if using. Combine the remaining ingredients in a nonreactive pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Strain to remove all the spices and pour the hot liquid over the rhubarb, covering completely but leaving at least 1/4″ of headspace. Cover with a sterilized canning lid and ring.
