Rhubarb

[NwMtGardener]

I made a plum (frozen) and rhubarb crisp the other night, it was YUMMY but I had forgotten to buy the vanilla ice cream so it seemed like it was missing something. I'm surprised it came out okay because DH accidentally turned the oven off while it was in there. Mine also sent up flowers already, I don't remember them being so early the past few years, I thought maybe it was the greenhouse weather causing it to be early.

I made a Rhubard Strawberry pie last week. Will be making a Rhubarb custard cake this week and thinking about making some loaves of Rhubarb bread. I see there are a 1/2 dozen seed heads forming, I will pull those out when I cut the rhubarb for the cake.

It all sounds so good! Especially with vanilla bean ice cream.

Made rhubarb salsa for lunch. Didn't seed jalapeño pepper, so had little bite. I was surprised it was good. Now rhubarb muffins in oven. Wife thinks I've went off deep end. Did that long time ago.

Rhubarb salsa??

Too hot here for baking! DW bought some California strawberries and we are eating them in cold cereal!

Okay. We aren't used to it yet -- first day that the thermometer has hit 80°f !

Would you share the recipe for your rhubarb custard cake (or @Gardening with Rabbits - your rhubarb custard bars)?
I'm hosting a wedding shower in a couple of weeks, I think my niece would love that!

DH is out picking some rhubarb now, not sure what he has in mind, but I know I will be eating it!

SIL came out bearing gifts of rhubarb crumble. Quite an original way to ask for more rhubarb, huh? She went home with a healthy collection of rhubarb stalks. She plans to make pies for her children.

Rhubarb Custard Cake

1 box yellow cake mix
4 cups diced rhubarb
1 cup sugar
1 pint whipping cream (do not whip)

Make cake according to package directions and pour into well greased and floured 9X13 cake pan. Top with rhubarb. sprinkle sugar over rhubard, pour cream over all. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown and springs back when lightly touched. (The custard forms on the bottom during the baking. )Keep in refrigerator. Good with cool whip, ice cream or alone.

This is really easy and REALLY good. I always get asked for the recipe.
