rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb (not m'sneeter rhubarb - the pink stick kind)

[Dimpled]

My friend gave me loads from her allotment today. Anything fun I can do with it apart from crumble?

My australian mate made a wonderful rhubarb cake - any ideas on a recipe?

(but now you come to mench, where is the MN one? Haven't seen her here for ages - nor custardo - ???)

Rhubarb and ginger jam any good?

It's fab but I'd have to type it quickly as I want to go and watch Desperate Housewives.

You could send some to me. I love rhubarb.

Nope. Too late. Sorry.

The Rhubarb and ginger jam recipe shall remain a secret of Spidermama's pantry.

LittleL - the Rhubarb Dump Cake sounds intruiging! but my pc won't open the recipe. Anyone?

chop it into bits and freeze it in 500g bags till you're more inspired (I always do this with fruit gluts)

Chop. In covered oven dish. Add brown sugar. Slow cook til just soft. Eat hot with best vanilla icecream, while watching Desparate Housewives.

Oh please send me some. I'll take care of the ice cream.

Oh please send me some. I'll take care of the ice cream.

Thanks LL
But....

spidermama - oh poo bum - I wanted the ginger jam recipe - sounds very good!

Did quickly stew some up and ate with vanilla ice-cream as suggested and was more than fine.

Okay off to read LL link - but not holding out much hope as fromreading the 'dump cake' recipe it seems to live up to it's most unappealing name

A rhubarb tart.
Cut your stick in little sticks, sprinkle some caster sugar and leave it for ideally at least 2 hours. They'll give plenty of juice.
Then collect the juice in a big bowl, add 3 or 4 eggs depending on the size of your dish, 3 or 4 big spoonfulls of creme fraiche, 3 or 4 spoonfulls of sugar. Butter your dish and lay your shortcrust pastry. Cover with the rhubarb sticks then the eggy mixture. Cook for about an hour at 180 deg.
