Jamie Oliver did great curry with rhubarb and pork..I think..
It was in his "at home series"...

Although we tend to think  of it as baby food, a purée is very nice. Get equal quantities of rhubarb and apple. Choose an apple that will go mushy during cooking. Cut the rhubarb into chunks, into the saucepan and sprinkle liberally with sugar and leave for a while.
Once it has started to seep its juices, put in the apple, also in chunks, and some cinnamon, ginger and a little vanilla. Add about half a cup of water (for about 3 apples and a few sticks of rhub) and start to simmer gently.  tatse for sugar content and adjust.
If it seems to watery, keep cooking to reduce it. Once well cooked, into the blender or whizz with the hand blender. It's wonderful with natural yoghurt, Greek yoghurt or ice cream.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

Rhubarb syrup (sugar and water and rhubarb bits boiled up and strained, perhaps some ginger/lemon juice) is delicious with water or fizzy something added.

ooh sorry Tulipa~ I have finally caught up with this thread and noticed that you posted the link for the recipes and that you offered me the jam and chutney! I must have appeared really dense the day you gave me the chutney and jam....and you must have thought I was dense when I asked you for recipe  ::).....
Anyways I few weeks  later and my brain has finally caught up with my mouth heeeheee hee!!

I didn't notice you being dense, just slightly bemused but I often have that effect on people!  ;)

I love rhubarb sorbet and its so easy.
Mix chopped rhubarb with water and sugar (just do it to taste) a squeeze of lemon (and any other other fruit you have it works with strabs, rasps and even blackberries) boil for 15 mins then freeze.
Yum
Dont forget that you can make an insecticide by stewing the leaves , drain and use liquid.

Other recipes for rhubarb on Delia's site too. I made the one with ginger beer, it was lovely.
Smile, it confuses people.
