Rhubarb

[Rosyred]

I've been given some very long thick stems so i'm wondering other than stew it what could I do as it may be quite tough. :-\

I'm going to try the rhubarb chutney by EJ. Can I have the cake recipe please.

Forgot made jam with the Rhubarb last year. 

[Rosyred]

That sounds good jam!

Can I have the recipe please

[Rosyred]

1 kg Rhubarb
1 kg sugar
Juice of one lemon

Chop rhubarb into 1" long pieces, put in a thick bottomed stainless steel (never aluminium) pan with just enough water to cover, cook with lemon juice until soft. Add sugar, stir to dissolve and bring heat up to 104 degrees C and boil for a few minutes - mind, as it can splutter at you. Jar quickly. This jam doesn't really set like other fruits do, so don't expect it to. If you want it to have a more "set" appearance substitute 300g of apple for 300g of rhubarb in the above recipe.
For rhubarb & ginger, substitute 100g of crystallised ginger for 100g of rhubarb, but chop it very fine and cook it separately for about 15 minutes in a little water to soften it. Then add to the rhubarb and start cooking. You may want to add 1/2 teaspoon of powdered ginger if it's not gingery enough for you.

Found it so I thought i'd had it. :D
