ALL HAIL TO THE RHUBARB!
I offer rhubarb recipes this month: A Muffin, A Torte, A Sauce and A Rhubarb Cake. Get ready to bake! These are recipes offered by a friend, my niece and my mother’s handwritten recipe collection. “The Big Guy” was never a fan of rhubarb but he has agreed to grow the plant and is amazed when he gets Rhubarb Sauce spooned over Vanilla Ice Cream. I often clean and chop the rhubarb then freeze in large Ziplock bags. It breaks apart easily and can be measured even when it is frozen solid. You will have enough for many of these recipes when you are ready to bake!
“The Big Guy” likes his desserts with strong sweet and milky coffee or strong black coffee with a generous shot of one of the Irish Cream Liquors.
