My grandma used to make rhubarb sauce. Not really sure how, I'm sure you could find a recipe and alter it to be healthier.0

I was doing a search on spark recipes and it seems that most are made "healthier" or less calories using splenda. My problem is I can't stand that crap, sorry....that is just how I feel.0

my granny did too... rhubarb, butter and white sugar... boil until thick and syrupy... OH SO AWESOME over fresh vanilla ice cream :blushing:
Yeah I know that's not healthy, but lordy was it good. :bigsmile:
Looks like most rhubarb recipes out there are for baked goods or jam or something of that nature?0 -

Maybe a whole wheat rhubarb bread but substitute the oil with applesauce.
I remember rhubarb sauce but grandma would serve it with homemade buttered bread! YUM!0 -

That pretty much sounds amazing!!!0 -
I never used to like strawberry rhubarb pie as a kid, but on a whim I got some fresh rhubarb from one of the local farms and am willing to give it another shot. Thanks for posting the recipe!0

Rhubarb is amazing in coffee cake. Just sprinkel some frozen chopped rhubarb or fresh at the bottom of any healthy coffee cake recipe and bake. So good. I usually toss my rhubarb is just a tablespoon of sugar or some sugar substitute. This is also good with any berry, especially blackberries.0

Do you mean you can just chop fresh rhubarb and sprinkle sweetener over it? I always thought you had to cook rhubarb first to make it edible.0 -
Might sound awful but I just like to eat it raw with a little salt on it. Have done it since I was a kid.0

Rhubarb sorbet for 116 cal per serving.
http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Rhubarb-Sorbet-92541
Sure, it's sorbet, so it's not low in sugar, but it's a good treat with basically no fat at all. For a dessert, I'd say that's pretty good. I had a rhubarb mint sorbet at a farmers market in Chicago that was AMAZING. Put some mint in this recipe. ...now I want some.0 -
did a search for ya:

they've got a bunch of ideas.0 -
A good rhubarb dessert is to stew your chopped rhubarb in a tiny bit of water & sweeten with splenda. Make a custard from the Birds eye custard which is a powder in a can. Pour some custard in the bottom of a dessert nappy then cover with some stewed rhubarb. I like it when it is still warm , but can be eaten cold too. Creamy & tart & delicious!0

Mmmm.. strawberry rhubarb pie is delicious..
I just wanted to add that lol
Hope you find some good recipes, though I don't care for using a lot of artificial sweeteners in what I eat.0 -

i agree completely. sometimes i feel like i'm the only (health-food conscious) person in the world who can't stand splenda. you understand.
i'm even worse in that i can't even handle any of the artificial sweetners (equal, sweet n low, etc). xylitol is okay. try xylitol? it's not as... fake-tasting, i guess.0 -
BUMP!0

My mom used to make rhubarb sauce and add strawberry Jello. We had it over toast in the morning.0

thanks for all the suggestions.
However my rhubarb crop has dried up for the season, I am used to it fresh, but now I may try it frozen.
I too second it raw with a little salt, gets my mouth watering just thinking about it.
Back to the sweeteners, I even gave truvia a chance, to me it still tastes like crap. Guess I will just limit my intake of the real stuff.0
