Rhubarb

[Alibobs]

I've just made a rhubarb crumble for pud tonight. Apart from rhubarb tart or rhubarb fool does anyone else have any good recipes for rhubarb. I love the stuff and it seems to be having a bit of a renaissance at present but I can't find many recipes, even on t'internet

Aagh! I've been edited!

It doesn't really matter though. Just follow the instructions in the first paragraph, above, and you'll find recipes for cheeesecakes, syllabubs, pancakes, jams, tarts and much, much more, all using rhubarb.

One of our favorites since the strawberries are usually available in abundance about the same time as the rubarb...

Rhubarb-Strawberry Pie

Pastry for a 2 crust 9 inch pie
4 cups chopped rhubarb, fresh or frozen
2 cups sliced strawberries
1 1/3 cups white sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg, beaten
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out half the pastry and line a 9 inch pie plate. Trim leaving 1/2 inch over the pie plate.
Combine rhubarb strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and cinnamon. Place in the pie shell.
Roll out remaining pastry and cut into 1 inch strips. Make a lattice top crust on the pie by crisscrossing the strips over the filling. Trim the strips even with the pie plate. Fold the 1/2 inch of the bottom crust over the ends of the strips. Seal and flute the edges. Brush lattice with egg.
Place on a baking sheet or tinfoil in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the crust starts to brown. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and continue to bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until crust is golden, rhubarb is tender, and filling is thickened.

Try it as we used to eat it when children ---- raw!

We would pick sticks of rhubarb which were growing in our gardens or allotments and eat them like sticks of rock.

Very nice, but very tart.
