Who out there likes Rhubarb? Iv'e Just cooked some by another method I haven't tried before and added a Jelly with a small amount of water and no added sugar.How do you like yours? Lynn

Only like it well-sweetened in crumble with plenty of custard or cream. But as for rhubard yogurt - ugh, far too sharp for my sweet tooth!

Rhubard crumble - yum ! Especially with vanilla ice cream. Then again I like most things with vanilla ice cream. Except prawns. Rick.

lol rick! why you don't you take your vanilla ice-cream to tracey's thread?!

Natalie - good idea ! We could take everything from your puddings thread :-)

Lynn I love rhubarb and usually make a crumble. (Must try it with cinnamon and sultanas) So what flavour jelly did you use and did you like it the way you made it? Norah

I do a very yummy rhubarb and peach crumble Karen

Karen - that sounds nice. I like rhubard & apple crumble too. Do you use about 50/50 rhubard & peaches ? Rick.

My son does a brilliant Rhubarb and Creamed Coconut Tart.

I,m another crumble fan ,with custard, or ice cream ,. My wife used to make jam with it when the children were still at home,it was out of this world,and once in a while she added a bit of ginger . I don,t get home made any more [sob ]Denis.

FOOD OF THE GODS!!! I like mine cooked in a crumble and served with custard

Hi Lynn, my wife was given the jelly recipe before we left for France. Loved it, still do when we can find rhubarb, but whats really hard is finding jellies here, so depend on those friends who visit during the year, gawd bless 'em!

Rick Its a cheating recipe really - a tin of value peaches drained and a tin of rhubarb drained with a nice thick layer of ready made crumble mix on top :-) I think I might have to make one tonight, I've got a cold and had to cancel going salsa dancing so I could do with some comfort food. Karen

*stomach rumbles*

Rhubarb, orange and ginger crumble is yummy. The orange gets rid of the furriness of the rhubarb. Orange juice works just as well as real oranges. Haven't made it for ages. Thanks for the reminder. Janice

We like rhubarb stirred into greek Yoghurt, the rhubarb has to be sweetened when cooking though otherwise it is too tart. Ann Glos

ooooooh rhubarb! did you know that Wakefield if the epicentre of the Rhubarb triangle of europe???????????????? and there is a rhubarb festival every year - at the beginning of February????????? Inspired now to have rhubarb crumble and custard tonight :-)

I love rhubarb and can remember as a child Mum straining the juice then using it to pour over the custard that went on top of the rhubarb crumble. Problem is I don't know how to cook it. Can anyone tell me. Hubby would love it! Naomi

Am I the only one on here who loathes rhubarb? It sets my teeth on edge! YUK! Hubby loves it though, so I do cook him rhubarb crumble if he's being very nice to me! I make apple crumble for myself - much much better! YUMMMMMMMMMM Sue

Love it and used to eat it raw ( no sugar!) as a child. Nearly bought some today but nearly collapsed at the price!! Linda x
