It's so popular here, for desserts (puddings), candy (sweets), jams (spreads) .. just about anything you can think of. I haven't been adventerous enough to make anything with it, but we have (past tense) grown it in our garden. Might try it again after seeing these recipes!

I can't take all of the credit; some of the words come straight from Gramma Bonnie. I was afraid the post might be a bit too long, but it all felt like it neeed to be said.<BR/><BR/>A, I just wash it off under running water, no special cleaning methods needed. If it still has leaves on it, remove them. Easy as...um...pie.Marthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03506070139896300603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892093470470997631.post-6819458036531095582008-05-16T20:53:02.237-04:002008-05-16T20:53:02.237-04:00I have never had rhubarb - how should I clean it when I buy it?chenchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07331827749656055608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892093470470997631.post-45514439005241572462008-05-16T20:30:06.765-04:002008-05-16T20:30:06.765-04:00I just love this post-- you have found your stride, your voice, your subjects, your whatever!<BR/><BR/>First off, rhubarb is always welcome. <BR/><BR/>Bringing food to someone else's house to cook- that is Grandma Gwen.<BR/><BR/>When my other grandmother, Dot, was 70 she declared from then on to speak her mind, which she had been doing all her life anyway.<BR/><BR/>And I like that fact that your mother uses the word parsimonious, an entirely underused word that I shall try to use tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>PS. I have some rhubarb in the fridge, but I am thinking maybe a rhubarb upside down cake.CatBoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00069330094429055398noreply@blogger.com
