Comments
We always had rhubarb around when I was a kid and it was used in many things. Stewed (as in above recipe) was used on icecream, hot breakfast cereals and even toast. We also put rhubarb in crisps, coffee cakes, muffins and loaves. The above recipe can be modified to be sweeter with the addition of more sugar, less sugar it's tarter. Spices can be added to enhance its flavor as well ie: cinnamon.
