Hi, I have a rhubarb plant in my backyard that is going gangbusters. The problem is i don't know what to do with it that doesn't involve pie. Any suggestions?

Lemonade, custard/curd/marmalade, chutney, bread rolls, rhubarb liquor... or microwave with some sweetener and top your oatmeal with it. The tricky part is that rhubarb usually needs alot of sugar.

Make a compote to serve over yoghurt. Rhubarb is my favorite flavor of anything.
I don;t have specific amounts for the recipe - you will have to experiment to find out how much sugar you like.

Cut up the rhubarb and put it in a bowl, tossing it with the amount of sugar you wish to start with. Let it sit for at least a half hour. This will allow some time for the juice to start to seep out, which will prevent you from burning the sugar into your pan. I usually let the rhubarb and sugar sit right in the pan I'm going to use just to avoid one more dish to wash.

Once that's done, just start cooking the rhubarb and sugar at a low heat, stirring frequently. Eventually, the rhubarb will soften and start to pull apart. Taste it and add more sugar if needed.

Pretty easy and it freezes well.

Thank you, I think I'll try the compote first
