Cooking rhubarb this morning

[spinbaby]

I got a big bunch of rhubarb at the farmers market without a clear idea of what I was going to do with it. Pie is out--there are only two of us living here and one doesn't eat sugar, so most of a pie would go to waste. So I decided I'm going to try my hand at rhubarb preserves. Some I'll make with plain rhubarb and some with the last of the strawberries, also from the farmers market. Wish me luck.

1. we've had a series of strawberry rhubarb crumbles this spring....love them!

we top them with a scoop of trader joe vanilla soy creamy. Yum! but yes, they do use sugar....we used honey on a few with good results.

2. You are going to need a fair amount of sugar to make rhubarb palatable.

3. True

But I turned it all into jam and jarred it up, so it will keep until someone--not me--gets around to eating it. Or possibly everyone I know will get jam for Christmas. I made plain rhubarb, strawberry rhubarb, and peach rhubarb.
