I just made rhubarb strawberry pie this week- delicious. :

3 cups sliced rhubarb
2-3 cups sliced strawberries
1 1/4 cup sugar
3 tbs corn starch
Couple pinches of nutmeg
Pinch of salt

Mix dry goods, mix in fruit, and let sit 15 minutes. Pour in 9in pie crust and put 9in crust over the top. Slit the top and bake for 1 hour at 350.

I use up all my rhubarb every year making several batches of freezer jam.

Not exactly healthy but oh so yummy!

6 cups chopped rhubarb
3 cups sugar
1 package strawberry jello

Toss together rhubarb and sugar, let sit in fridge overnight.

Bring to a boil and cook over medium high heat for 15 minutes. Stir in jello. Pour into sterilized jars and freeze.

Makes 6 pints.

I also have a recipe for Rhubarb Bread.

1 cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups brown sugar
⅔ cup vegetable oil
1 egg
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups chopped rhubarb
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Preheat oven to 325F . Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans. Stir together milk, lemon juice and vanilla, let stand for 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, oil and egg. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda, stir into sugar mixture alternately with the milk mixture just until combined. Fold in rhubarb. Pour batter into loaf pans.

Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the unbaked loaves.

Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a loaf comes out clean.

Rhubarb Rosemary syrup

We tried this out with a lot of success. It is not too Rosemary-y and it is a nice "soda" treat.

I also make her Big Crumb Coffee Cake (with rhubarb). It's delicious!

I also make rhubarb ginger muffins. It's a ginger and pear muffin recipe from Nigella Express (I think) and I sub rhubarb instead of pears. It's really good.

Just boil it down with a little sugar and use it as a sauce over ice cream.

Rhubarb jam, tarts, pie, bread, crisp

I like any of the above with strawberries or blueberries in addition to rhubarb

[mumkimum]

Try roasting some - I did it last year (with a recipe similar to this with orange (but not ginger - sounds good though). It leaves the rhubarb much more solid & less mushy than usual, which was a treat.

We always make rhubarb custard pie. Or you can mix rhubarb with a fruit and make jam the old fashioned way... strawberry is traditional, but I've also had it with raspberry, or apricot.

I also chop it up into the right size for pie and freeze it - it freezes so much better than soft fruits - and a fresh fruit pie in the dead of winter also goes over nicely.

Thanks for sharing the ideas everyone. I have a bumper crop this year and needed some new ideas. Last year I made strawberry/rhubarb jam (used the a recipe from the Ball Blue Book of canning) and it is yummy.

[tolovemercy]

i'm trying a rhubarb upside down cake recipe today!

[jpamama]

Thanks everyone - I am enjoying my rhubarb more this year thanks to all the suggestions. I made an awesome rhubarb, strawberry and apple crisp last night - yummy yummy. Also, the roasted rhubarb, awesome - thanks mumkimum - much different than traditional rhubarb recipes. Making sure to get some in the freezer for the winter too!
