Rhubarb recipes??

[jrebel]

Just came home from the cabin and brought with me 3 gallon freezer bags packed full of rhubarb.   Now....what to do with all this rhubarb.   

Strawberry rhubarb pie is the obvious answer but what else do you guys and gals do with rhubarb?

Good gawd, we have one plant and it's half the size of a volkswagon already.  If you like sweet/sour, try pickling some.  It is unusual, but we love it.  Another thing we do is just poach it in a little water and a bit of butter until it is goo and add sugar until it is as sweet as you llike it and shlop that over vanilla ice cream.  Rhubarb jam is always good too.

Same one I was going to post with slight variations. Pretty quick to put together. When I was younger I remember a treat was raw rhubarb dipped in sugar. Life was a bit simpler then…

I get a half gallon jar, fill it with chopped rhubarb, fifth of ever clear or high octane vodka, cup of suger and mash it up.  Let it sit with a coffee filter banded on for a few months in a cool spot   Strain and enjoy

Someone, sometime came across this plant. Picked a stalk and bit into it. Hmmm, this is good! Crazy nutjob! Rhubarb is gross!

I canned some rhubarb pie filling that turned out pretty good

6 quarts peeled and diced rhubarb
7 cups sugar
10 cups water
1 3/4 cups clear jel
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup lemon juice

Mix the water, sugar, clear jel, nutmeg and cinnamon and heat to bubbling over medium heat, stirring constantly. When mixture begins to bubble add the lemon juice, continue stirring until mixed and remove from heat.
Pour mixture over rhubarb in a large bowl (I use two) and mix.
Ladle pie filling into quart or pint jars using a knife or spatula to remove air bubbles, place lids and bands and hot water bath for 25 minutes (pints) or 30 minutes (quarts)
Confirm sealing after it cools and it will keep for a year.
Also excellent over ice cream, pancakes or French toast.
