Our wildly thriving rhubarb patch has been almost untouched for most of the time we’ve owned it. We are the laziest gardeners I know; we love the food but don’t like the work.
This year I wanted to make the best of this huge patch of free food. It was a fun family adventure.
If any of you readers are interested in some free rhubarb, let me know. There is plenty to go around. Just come over and pick it up this week!
Rhubarb Sauce
4 C chopped rhubarb
1 C sugar
1/2 stick butter
Melt butter and sugar over medium heat. Add rhubarb. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it becomes saucy. Puree in blender.
I might try making this with Stevia or Xylitol next time. That way we could eat it freely without the negative effects of sugar.
That reaction face is adorable!!!
lovely lisa! the pics are awesome (of course! oh sweet anna!) and i think we might be kindred gardening spirits (no surprise there!). love the concept, idea and yummys but the time commitment kind of bites, right? 🙂 thanks also for the recipe. sounds absolutely delish!
