 ;D The best way to get children to eat rhubarb is cook it in the microwave with only the sugar and then once cooked make some strawberry  jelly and put a load in the jelly and it tastes great and good for them too. :D

Nigella's Rhubarb Schnapps is lovely  ;D

Rhubarb Schnapps

1kg of rhubarb to make 600g trimmed weight
300g caster sugar
1 litre vodka, plus more if needed
1 x 2 litre jar
1 x1 litre jar

Chop rhubarb and divide it between the two jars.
Add 150g sugar to each jar, put the lids on and shake well.
Unclip the lids and pour 500ml of vodka into each to fill.
Close the lids, put the rhubarb somewhere cool and dark for at least 6 weeks and up to 6 months. Shake jars every day for the first month or so.
Strain into a jug and then pour into a bottle.

I've got new crowns in this year so picking is minimal. Yesterday I stewed rhubarb in ginger syrup (I ate the contents of the jar previously :P) then I condensed the liquid that was left by boiling up, put rhubarb and syrup in the bottom of ramekins, made chocolate mousse to go on top and sprinkled with slivered almonds. Even HE enjoyed it! :o

I ended up making Delia's pile it high Rhubarb & Orange Meringue Pie.
Everyone was raving about it!

Was a bit faffy but looked and tasted great.

(didn't make my own pastry used shop bought!)

Rhubarb is just sour that needs sweet to me

Wonder if I cooked it with pork and honey it would work

[Rhubarb Thrasher]

Excellent recipes EJ!  My rhubarb is coming on a treat and looks like I will have another bumper crop, so plenty left after I have made my chutney for other things.  :P busy_lizzie
