Quick post today. I found rhubard at the Farmer's Market and made rhubarb compote. All you have to do is cut your rhubard, add sugar to taste and cook until your rhubard is very soft and begins to fall apart, about 20 min. Rhubard can be frozen, I did in small Mason jars. When I want to eat rhubard I just microwave it for 50-60 seconds.
Ideas to serve your rhubard:
-Lemon poppyseeds muffins
-Vanilla ice cream
-Yogourt
It really must be the season! I've seen about a dozen posts on various blogs lately with rhubarb recipes. I've never eaten it, but I think I'm getting a message here that I really ought to give it a try. If there isn't any in my produce share Saturday I think I'll buy some to try!
ReplyDeleteOh, I totally LOVE rhubarb! I have to find a good source this summer because I refuse to pay good money for it at the store when I know people have it growing in their yards and can't give the stuff away!
ReplyDeleteHelene- This looks so fantastic. I love the layers, it is so pretty. I bet its just delicious!
ReplyDeleteSo easy! I bet that compote would be good on ice cream...or even ice cream and angel food cake!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like the taste of rhubarb and it's time I went and got some before the season fades away. Yours looks great.
ReplyDeleteOh Rhubarb, beautiful, vibrant color and delicious!
ReplyDeleteWow so easy and serves as a perfect topping! Though I have had only once I have loved it ever since.
ReplyDeleteI love rhubarb! Can't wait to pick some up from the farmers market.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with rhubard. Definitely would love to try it :)

ReplyDeleteThe female half of this Duo has never had rhubarb. :( Sounds like it'd be great on those lemon poppyseed muffins though.

ReplyDeleteBonjour Hélène, la compote et la confiture de rhubarbe sont une belle récompense au printemps.

I LOVE Rhubarb. I always wonder why more people do not grow it! It is sooo easy to grow, and can grow on even the smallest properties as part of the landscape! I have begun a website devoted only to rhubarb, and am having a lot of fun making rhubarb recipes every week:)
