Rhubarb , My Favorite Rhubarb Recipes

I previously posted several recipes for the Iconic, All American  Dump Cake.
I had never heard of Rhubarb Dump Cake.
I grew up in Michigan and Rhubarb was abundant. My Grandmother made the
best Rhubarb Sauce and poured it over Shortbread Biscuits.
She made the best Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. I've included several of my favorite Rhubarb recipes here.
It doesn't get much easier than this recipe to enjoy Rhubarb Cake.
I found several recipes for this online and I adapted it a bit, without changing the integrity of the original recipe.
I love Rhubarb and I will definitely make this during the summer, maybe for Christmas too.......!

I am posting the link to give full credit for this recipe and so you can see the photograph of the final product.


Here's a new recipe that is more contemporary than the Rhubarb recipe that are typically considered vintage.   This recipe has been adapted from a recipe shared by Midge on Food52.

These are Rhubarb Scones that are served with Strawberry Jam, doesn't that sound incredible

Rhubarb Scones :

3 stalks of fresh Rhubarb , sliced 1/4".

2 1/2 C flour

1 TBS baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

8 TBS cold butter, cubed.

1/2 C vanilla sugar ( I make my own and always have it available for my baking needs)

2/3 - 3/4 C heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

In a small bowl:

Toss Rhubarb with 3 TBS of the Vanilla Sugar.

In the bowl of a Food Processor, sift:

flour

baking powder

salt

Cut in the butter by pulsing the Processor until the size of small peas form.

Pulse in 1/4 C of the Vanilla Sugar.

Pulse in the Rhubarb.

Slowly add the Heavy Cream until a soft dough forms. You may not need all of the cream.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface.

Divide the dough in half.

Flatten each half into a 6" disc.

Cut each into 6 - 8 wedges.

Sprinkle with remaining Vanilla Sugar.

Bake at 425 degrees on a Parchment Paper lined sheet pan for 20 minutes.

Serve with Strawberry Jam.

Enjoy!

It's time for another one of my recipes from the Best of the Best book that I've collected since 1975.

I grew up in Michigan and Rhubarb was plentiful, unlike now ,where I live in Texas.

We visited family in Kansas one summer and Rhubarb grows well in Kansas.

I bought a plant while we were there and told the nursery I would bring them a Rhubarb Pie after I harvested my Rhubarb.

Well, that never hapened. We really can't grow it here.

I have to rely on keeping frozen Rhubarb available at all times, since I remember all of my Grandmother's Rhubarb creations, Rhubarb Sauce, Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, Rhubarb Crisp, Rhubarb Crunch, Cream of Rhubarb Pie and this........ Rhubarb Mousse!

2 C sliced Rhubarb

1/2 C Water

1/2 C Sugar

1 (3 oz.) box of Strawberry Jello

1/2 C Cold Water

1 C Whipped Cream or Cool Whip

Mix the first 3 ingredients together in a saucepan and bring to a boil and cook for about 8 minutes

Add the Jello, stirring until completely dissolved

Remove from heat add the Cold Water

Chill until slightly thickened

Whip the mixture

Add the Whipped Topping and Refrigerate

Enjoy!

Peace in the Kitchen!

This recipe comes from The Melting Pot of Mennonite Cookery published in 1974.

I just happen to have Rhubarb in the freezer. I'll make this Crisp this weekend and post a picture.

Mix:

2 TBS Flour

Put into a greased baking dish and cover with the following Crumb mixture.

1/4 C Butter

1/3C Brown Sugar

2/3C Flour

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Cut the Butter into pieces.

Cut the Butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or two knives.

Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream or Homemade Whipped Cream

I recently discovered Flatbush Farm & Bar (N) in New York City.

I love recipes from Pubs , Bistros and Bars!

If you haven't seen my recipe for Union Square's Cafe Bar Nuts, check it out. It's another great Bistro, Pub recipe.

I love their concept of farm fresh and organic foods. They have some amazing items on their menu. The first recipe that I discovered was their Baked Artichoke Dip, and then I found this one for Rhubarb Rice Pudding. This recipe has two of my favorite things.... Rice Pudding and Rhubarb!

When I have a chance I'll post the Baked Artichoke Dip.

Chef Stephen Browning of Flatbush Farm – Brooklyn, New York

INGREDIENTS Rhubarb Base: 1 pound rhubarb, chopped ¼ cup sugar 1 cup red wine Pudding: 236 grams rice 2 quarts milk, plus more as needed 225 grams sugar 3 vanilla beans, split and scraped 4 egg yolks To Assemble and Serve: Vanilla sugar METHOD For the Rhubarb Base: Heat a rondeau pan over medium heat. Add the rhubarb, sugar, and wine, and cook down until almost dry. Allow the rhubarb mixture to cool and refrigerate. When the mixture has chilled, spread evenly in the base of each ramekin. For the Pudding: In a large pot, cook the rice, milk, sugar, and vanilla beans until the rice is cooked through and creamy. Temper the eggs with warm milk and fold into the rice pudding. To Assemble and Serve:Pour the rice pudding into the prepared ramekins over the rhubarb mixture. Generously sprinkle each ramekin with vanilla sugar and bake at 350°F until warm.

It can be used on your favorite sandwiches, as a dip for Pretzels, on Hard Boiled Eggs and in Potato Salad. There are so many other uses for homemade Mustard. Just before Summer, I like to have a lot of Mustard available for Picnics This makes 7 - 1/2 Pint Jars that are canned.

Have the Canning Jars and Lids Boiled, completely Dried and ready to fill for the Canning process.

Ladle the Mustard into the Pint Jars.
Leave about 1/2" of space in the top of the jars.
Wipe off the rims of the jars.
Screw on the Lids just until secure, don't over tighten them.

Put the jars in a Canning Pot with enough hot water to completely cover the jars.
