Anyone got some yummy rhubarb recipies? I've been stewing mine and having it with museli for breakfast but I just picked another shedload today and would like to do something different. I'd like to try a rhubarb cake if I can find a good recipie.

I recently tried jam but two batches turned out very differently and I am not sure I liked either. Wll watch with interest as I need some rhubarb inspiration
-
My granny used to make rhubarb and ginger jam. Unfortunately she's no longer with us to ask for the recipie :(
-
Jam recipe is probably on here, I don't rate mine so I won't share.
Take a look at this site as when I google I always end up back on here. :lol:
-
Loads on here I am going to write some down and try some. Cakes and all sorts :D
-
Thanks for the tip BQ - found some good ones on here already :) Love the sound of the squashy crumble cake :tongue2:
But if anyone has any others they're willing so share ...

Rhubarb wine........................ hic! :lol:
-
is it nice ?
:tongue2:

Just found a recipe for rhubarb chutney, didn't realise it would chutney well so I am going to try it tonight. We are drowning in rhubarb as we have four very large crowns that are trying to take over the world.
Anyone else tried it as a chutney rather than a jam
-
Don't stew down the rhubarb, roast it
Put rhubarb in a dish with a sprinkling of brown sugar
Put in oven at 180c for 15 mins covered with foil
Remove foil, shake the dish and cook for a further 5 mins.
You can also add some orange juice for a twist.
This recipe is loved by those who say its too tart to eat, especially when stewed.
I make my own yoghurt and stir in a small amount of cooked rhubarb.
Google delias rhubarb pie, I make small ones and keep in the freezer.

Made this last night,
Spiced Rhubarb Chutney
Ingredients
•3lb rhubarb
•1lb onions
•1lb eating apples
•8oz dates
•8oz dried apricots
•2 pts white wine vinegar
•2lb 4oz soft brown sugar
•4 tspn salt
•1 tspn cayenne pepper
•1 tspn ground cloves
•1 tspn cinnamon
•2 tspn ground ginger
Method
Chop all the fruit and vegetables, add the vinegar, sugar and spices and bring slowly to the boil, stirring now and again.
Simmer for about two hours (don't forget to stir as it will stick) until thick.
Pour into heated jars and seal.
Notes:
This is edible from the word go but if malt vinegar is used instead of white wine then it will need at least three months to mature.
You can substitute fresh ginger finely chopped instead of the dried if you prefer.

I have just made this Rhubarb & Ginger Crumble cake (adding some chopped stem ginger to the sponge) and it is pretty good:

If you want the recipe for these.

I really like the look of the first one. I'm off to check my ingredients now.
-
The rhubarb chutney looks really good, a rich chocolate colour, tastes sharp with the malt vinegar but I think it will be a good one, made 8 jars. Took mine out slightly funnier than normal as hubby wants a more spreadable chutney for his sandwiches as he doesn't have butter or marg.

Does butter make you poorly too? The other recipe has butter in; mind you, you could sub marg for the butter.

Mrs bee
I am ok with butter, marg and milk. It must be something they add in, in the cheese process. Luckily I can't stand the smell of cheese either so just the smell has me reaching for q bucket.
I was offered testing to see what it is but I have a wee one with enough issues ( food related) I don't need to add mine, I can live a cheese free life
I am going to have a go with my next batch of rhubarb.

Ooooohhh more details please. Does it freeze like ice cream, do you cook rhubarb first I am guessing

Cook with sugar to taste, mash or puree & fold into whipped cream. Chill and eat. Also works well with blackberries and other soft fruit. If you freeze it, let it soften for a couple of mins and eat as ice cream or defrost and it's rhubarb fool. :)

I made this yesterday - it was great :D
I used sponge flour (and left out the baking powder) which made the sponge really light but should have added more ginger than the recipe called for I think.
I also ended up using too small a tin so the crumble overflowed down the sides a bit but this made some yummy chewy bits! - my next largest tin was too big and the sponge mix looked a bit lost in it.
Definitely recommend this one :D :D
-
Yes, it is good. I did add extra ginger powder to the sponge and added some to the crumble as well. I like ginger! :)

My husband saw a recipe on TV for home made rhubarb ripple icecream, I do not have the ingredients to make the icecream so I used shop bought. Softened the rhubarb in a microwave, once cool put in a blender with the icecream and mix, I blended it too long so added more rhubarb and mixed with a spoon. Put the mix back into the icecream tub and refreeze. I used raspberry merangue icecream so I did not need to add sugar.

These rhubarb muffins are superb.

Oh I think I need to try some of those :)

Rhubarb crumble cake sounds nice. Hopefully next year I will be able to pick some rhubarb and try all the recipes out. Had to buy my rhubarb this year as my plants are just babies. :(

Onions, chilli, garlic, rhubarb, salt, pepper & sugar cooked until soft and served with cold meats, cheese, pork pie, curry etc. A change from apple sauce or mango chutney.
