Stewed Rhubarb
I bought a rhubarb plant a few years ago and until last year I had kept it in a container. Last year I decided to plant it in the vegetable garden, near the orchard. I kept it covered over during the Winter and then I forced it earlier this year following tips from Top Veg. The plant has produced some long sticks of rhubarb which we have been harvesting in the last week.
We have stewed the rhubarb and then served it with custard. A hearty dessert, heartliy recommended!
