Rhubarb uses and recipes

[miss_thenorth]

My mom just gave me this recipe, so I haven't tried it, but will when my rhubarb is ready to pick. It does contain sugar, but what candy doesn't? I don't know if you could substitute the sweetener, but you could try it?

Cut rhubarb into 1/4' to 1/2' slices, toss in granulated sugar to coat. Arrange on slingle layer on parchment paper and bake in 175F oven with door slightly openuntil pieces are dried and just a little pliable--anywhere fron 2-6 hours.(depending on moisture level and variety of rhubarb, the thickness of slices and vagaries of oven. Loosesn from parchment paper while still warm. Store at room temp in an airtight container. You can also make them in your food dehydrator. It tastes like a natural gummy candy.

I LOVE RHUBARB! My fav way to use it is to just make a crisp, like an apple crisp, but with rhubarb. Use more sugar. One cup to about 6 cups of fruit.
I wish I had more rhubarb! My plants aren't big enough yet!

Anyone have a pie recipe??

I'll make one up for you. Slice equal parts rhubarb and strawberries (frozen strawberries work fine, even still frozen) and toss with a little sugar or for me, maybe four droppers-full of stevia extract instead of the sugar. Put in a pie crust and bake! If you want to avoid watery filling, you can stir some flour or cornstarch into the sugar before stirring that into the fruit.

I often do part of a project the day before, and in this case, I might drain of a bit of the resulting juice from the cut up fruit and mix some cornstarch into that juice, cold from the fridge, then stir it back into the fruit before filling the pie and baking, since I don't use sugar. That is how I made my strawberry-rhubarb crisp and it came out sooooo yummy!

Thanks! We just harvested ALOT of it from our neighbor and besides eating it raw with sugar or salt on it we were wanting a good pie recipe. The strawberries with it is classic and so yummy! Thanks..we'll be trying this tomorrow!
