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?

Rhubarb and custard blondie. I miss out the white chocolate chips, it's sweet enough without them.

Otherwise I cook rhubarb in the oven with a little sugar and water. Once cool I have with kefir or Greek yoghurt with my lunch.

Add custard powder to blondie mix for an extra fudgy texture. Pair with rhubarb for a classic flavour combination, or try swirling in some jam or compote

I make jams and spicy chutneys.
Also flavoured vodka.
I made this tart once, which looked pretty cool.

Google Mr B's Rhubarb Chutney, it is seriously delicious. I made rhubarb vodka last year, didn't add much sugar, it was really nice just with water and ice!

If you really have too much/it's going to waste, your local freegle may find people who would like some.

I'm going to try this one https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/roasted-rhubarb-feta-and-lentil-salad.html but if you put rhubarb into the tesco recipes search there are lots of different ideas. I likethe look of rhubarb and gin sorbet, Persian lamb and rhubarb and Warm rhubarb and mackerel salad

My mum used to make something called rhubarb ring pie, which was my favourite. Sadly I don't have the recipe to hand, but it involved rhubarb cut into chunks on a plate and sprinkled/drizzled with sugar, Syrup, sultanas, ginger, cinnamon & mixed spice & possibly lemon juice - then topped with scones - so basically a type of cobbler. Served with custard on vanilla ice cream - absolutely delicious- I must get the proper recipe.

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

I do this but have it with porridge for breakfast, in fact I had it this morning - delicious!
