We always have stewed fruit as part of breakfast. I have it as a separate dish, wife likes it on cereal. It goes April to September rhubarb, October plums, November to March apples

Love my rhubarb.
I make a fantastic (if I say so myself!) rhubarb and custard ice cream (what you do to cope with a glut of milk and eggs) and rhubarb cordial gets me through a lot of the summer.

I want to try making a rhubarb jelly this year so I can layer it with custard! Anyone been successful with rhubarb jelly? I have around 14 stalks destined for a crumble and stewing for breakfast tomorrow!

Jelly with the cooking juices? Yes it makes a nice jelly. I stew it in the oven with a bit of orange juice, then use the hot juice and leaf gelatine. If the colour is a bit murky, a bit of red grape juice really boosts the pinkness and just deepens the flavour :)

Perfect! That's what I was hoping for. Going to try and hunt out the gelatin this afternoon....

Rhubarb cordial, lovely with sparkling water, and gin/vodka......
Rhubarb ketchup nice with bangers, rhubarb sorbet early on when sweet together with rhubarb fool or mousse.
Back to alcohol, rhubarb vodka and rhubarb wine.
Rest in the freezer for crumbles etc.
