Kim, that was Viola Rhodus' recipe. You should have it; it was in that packet of family recipes she sent out a couple years ago.
Melissa, I want to put a rhubarb plant in my yard. I like that they don't really need to be in a vegetable garden; you can put them in a border area or flower bed and they do pretty well. My mom grew hers along the fence in the backyard. If I recall, it was at least part shade.

I planted 9 rhubarb plants this summer and they are doing great! They came from my Dad's garden in Lee County.

Mom used to make a rhubarb cake that was delicious. That was the only way you could get me to eat rhubarb back then!

Some family friends of my husband gave us a jar of rhubarb sauce. It was a green color and was delicious over vanilla ice cream.

Rhubarb is wonderful! My grandparents used to raise their own. My grandmother made rhubarb cobbler and rhubarb sauce - like applesauce but with a much more tart bite.

I love rhubarb and made a delightful batch of strawberry-rhubarb preserves last summer. My Mom's husband stole three jars of it the last time they were down in Roanoke. He eats that stuff by the spoonful.

I'm definitely going to try the crumble recipe. Thanks!
