Have I mentioned that rhubarb is my favorite springtime crop? The tart red or green stems practically scream “Winter is over!” Here are some of my favorite rhubarb recipes, all tried and true and waiting for you:
Three Ingredient Rhubarb Sauce. What a glorious condiment. I love it on pancakes, yogurt, and ice cream. It pairs up nicely with savory stuff, too, including roast duck, grilled chicken, and baked pork tenderloin. Give it a try, okay? Here’s the recipe.
A Better Rhubarb Pie. And it is better, too, because the filling doesn’t turn into a puddle of juice. My recipe for you.
Rhubarb Streusel Puffs. Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far, away, I grabbed a sheet of (store-bought) puff pastry dough, and cut it into quarters. Then I topped each quarter with a handful of rhubarb and some oats, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. The result? Delicious Rhubarb Streusel Puffs! Here’s the step-by-step:
Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake. I love every component of this cake. I love the crunchy streusel base. And the orange-scented cakey middle. And the ribbons of tart, pink rhubarb that adorn the top. It’s the kind of decadence that disappears — in my house, anyway — before you can say “Rhubarb Upside Down Cake.” The recipe.
Rhubarb Galette with Red Currant Glaze. A rustic dessert for royal appetites. I used buttery Pâte brisée sucrée for the crust, and tart red rhubarb for the filling. To make the rhubarb glisten, I brushed the diced stems with warmed currant jelly. The final product is neither too tart nor too sweet. It’s just…downright addicting. Here’s the simple how-to:

I have made your Rhubarb Galette with Red Currant Glaze many times and everyone just loves it – some ice cream on top or if taking on a picnic – the Reddi Whip works just great. Rhubarb is probably my most favorite treat from my garden in spring and I use a lot of it. Trying to find a cabbage slaw recipe using rhubarb that I came across somewhere recently in passing and now can’t find. My goal is to find rhubarb recipes that taste wonderful with the least amount of sugar. Anyone see this recipe? Have a wonderful day.

I love love rhubarb! and your recipes have added to my repertoire. But. you should include this recipe for rhubarb chutney for pork tenderloin. It is a delight. Chutney for 2 lbs of pork tenderloin – simmer until sugar dissolves 3/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar, 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger, 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon or orange peel, 1 cinnamon stick (or ½ tsp ground)
½ tsp (scant) cardamom, then add 2-4 cups 1/2-inch pieces fresh rhubarb, & 1/2 cup dried currants and simmer for 10 min.

I’m really wanting to make the Rhubarb Upside Down Cake for my Mom’s birthday this weekend but wondering if I can use frozen rhubarb instead. For some reason I can’t seem to find fresh rhubarb!
Thanks
