I think It was Tim who suggested cooking before freezing because it takes a lot less room in your freezer. We use the small plastic microwave containers from Wilkies to freeze them. when they are frozen we turn em out into bags and they stack like bricks. We do this with stews soups and curries. They hold a good sized single portion.

I do as above but I let it drain through a sieve first. The juice goes for wine and the rhubarb left is thicker.
