Rhubarb




Fiona and I spent the morning at my gran's house and we cooked fresh rhubarb.

Don't be sceered - this stuff is delicious.

Cut up about a 1 to 1 1/2 pounds and cover with water, cook until tender and then add sugar (she added about a cup to suit my grandfather's tastes. I think a 1/2 cup would do it the same amount of justice- use your taster to find the right sweetness).

Simmer for what seems like forever (maybe 45 minutes?), and you will get this:


Slather it on toast, over ice cream, on top of cheesecake, or eat it by the spoonfuls. It is marvelous.

Cheers and Happy Eats!
