Okay … hands up if you love rhubarb!
It is one of my most favourite fruits, and my dear hubbie Bryan pandered to my whims and planted some, so for the past couple of months we have been enjoying stewed rhubarb with our brekkie or in our smoothies and I have loved every mouthful.
Rhubarb can be easily baked in the oven, but I am cooking mine in the Thermomix as I love the “compote” style.
A spoonful with our morning granola, or in our smoothies, or on yoghurt in the evening is fabulous, and I will be very sad to see our little crop go … until the next season that is!
So here is what I do … this is not very sweet which I like, and I would encourage you to use the lesser amount of sugar I suggest. If you find it is not sweet enough, then just add more sugar next time. Using light muscovado sugar (or brown sugar) gives a truly delicious flavour to the rhubarb … my mum reminded me recently that this is what she used to do for the best result, and she was so right … thanks mum xo
