What Can I Make With Rhubarb
One of the first vegetables that’s ready to harvest is rhubarb each year. I love this tart first vegetable of the season and with all the rain we had recently, my rhubarb plants are growing like crazy right now. The first stalks should be ready for harvest in just a few days.
Usually I have just enough to make a couple of rhubarb pies, but this year looks like quite a bit more. So I guess my question is what do you make with Rhubarb?
Here’s my favorite rhubarb pie recipe:
* 4 cups chopped rhubarb
* 1 1/3 cups white sugar
* 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
Preheat oven to 450F
Combine sugar and flour. Sprinkle 1/4 of it over pastry in pie plate. Heap rhubarb over this mixture. Sprinkle with remaining sugar and flour. Dot with small pieces of butter. Cover with top crust.
Place pie on lowest rack in oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350F, and continue baking for 40 to 45 minutes.

I used to eat rhubarb but I wont touch it anymore. I guess taste buds change as you get older.

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Place bread cubes into a buttered 2 quart casserole dish. Combine the milk and butter in a saucepan, and heat just to the boiling point. Pour over the bread cubes, and let stand for 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir in rhubarb. Pour over the soaked bread, and stir gently until evenly blended. Sprinkle walnuts over the top.
3. Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until nicely browned on the top. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Ummmmm…. Delicious!

I bet that is delicious, but we don’t have rhubarb in local stores. Only local products.
