Freezing Rhubarb

[Pablop]

I was given lots and lots of rhubarb yesterday from a friends garden, I wll make a rhubarb crumble tomorrow but what can I do with the rest of it.

Can I freeze it, if so should I wash & chop it first?

Any advice much appreciated

Freeze it raw and chopped (easier to store than long stalks).

MIL stews her fruit then freezes it but I always think it doesn't taste as good when you do that.

Thanks for that I'll do that,

My experience of freezing my rhubarb was that it turned very soggy when cooked afterwards. Definityly a dissappointment.

Haven't tried again but next time i think i would wash, cut and blanch for a minute or two to see if that works.

The advice for freezing most veg is to blanch first, and start the cooking process off that way.
