Rhubarb

[poliphilo]

Dot has rhubarb in her garden. We picked a bunch the other day. She and Ailz won't eat it but I will. Their loss. I cook it up with ginger and brown sugar and serve it with cream.

That sounds delicious. I've never thought of cooking it up with ginger. Did you use fresh ginger or the dried powder?

I like to cook it up with apples and raisins and a little bit of cornstarch and honey.

My mother makes hers with a lot of sugar and a package of strawberry gelatin.

When I was a child, I'd just pull out out a stalk and eat it with salt. I thought it was deliciously sour. :D

I always keep fresh ginger in stock. I make a lot of apple sauce- and it just isn't the same without ginger.

Raw rhubarb and salt: I'm not sure I fancy that. One bite maybe, just for the experience.

I tried it as an adult, and it just wasn't the same.
