I recently purhcased a new home, and the previous owners were pretty enthusiastic gardeners (certainly more enthusiastic than I normally would be). I've been able to identify nearly all of the plants they left behind, since many of them were labeled. There is one plant, however, that was unlabeled, and I don't recognize. Any help would be appreciated. I'll post links to pictures below. Thanks. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/cmossell/House/plant1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/cmossell/House/plant2.jpg
Rhubarb also makes excellent cakes, muffins and sauce. Like apple sauce only with Rhubarb. Chop it up, place in a kettle with a substantial amount of sugar (how much is all personal taste, you'll have to experiment) Do not add any water initially, Rhubarb is very liquidy. Begin cooking at medium heat. As it boils down you will be able to tell if you need to add water, usually not. Cook until the Rhubarb is mostly cooked down and tender, cool and enjoy! Great for breakfast with bran muffins!
It's lovely cooked as Wild-rose suggests then cooled and folded into whipped cream - (could use half and half cream and yoghurt or creme fraiche) wonderful chilled summer desert. For something extra special add a little chopped ginger in syrup.
