When we moved into our house last summer, I was pleased to discover . . .
. . . a vigorous rhubarb plant growing next to our screened porch. My dad loves rhubarb pie, but I had never actually cooked with rhubarb before. I didn't even know what it tasted like on its own.
I asked a friend from church for her favorite rhubarb recipes, then I harvested some stalks this afternoon and started chopping. They smelled like pie crust dough with a hint of nutmeg, but when I tasted a piece, it was eating a sour-apple-flavored grape. I know--weird.
But the tangy rhubarb cobbler turned out delicious! We like it even better than apple crisp . . .
. . . and most of us had seconds. Next on the rhubarb experiment list: a rhubarb jam recipe that calls for a packet of strawberry Jello. O_o
