We’ve got a glut of rhubarb already and im never really sure what to do with it other than compote and custard.

Any ideas?

Cook it in a small amount of sugar and reduce it down. Freeze in small portions to add to plain puddings or ice cream.

Tomorrow for Easter dinner desert, I have made a huge meringue. I am going to make a pavlova and fill with rhubarb, strawberries and kiwi, mixed in lemon infused double cream.

Poach with brown sugar and vanilla bean paste and serve with Greek yogurt or ice cream or anything else you fancy

I was given a jar of homemade rhubarb and ginger jam by a colleague this week and it’s so good

DH says burn it! Rhubarb was one of the few things which his parents managed to grow successfully, and he's yet to eat it as an adult....

NimbleTiger · 19/04/2025 17:55

Wish I was your neighbour lol love rhubarb difficult to find these days ...grew up with it growing in the garden sadly parents passed and garden gone. Enjoy ! Whatever you do with it.

Leave it on the neighbours door step. That's what mine used to do and I loved her for it!

GoodLaudanum · 19/04/2025 17:58

I second the jam.

Rhubarb, strawberry and vanilla is delicious

My mum used to make the most fantastic rhubarb jelly. It was beautiful to look at and to eat. Sadly I never asked her for the recipe.
