Ready to Drool?

It was one of those windy, bleary days , but the only thing that saved it was RHUBARB!

Rhubarb one is one of my favourites, But then again, anything ending in pie will do. Three on the table ready to go into the freezer.

Two more cooling down! These are rhubarb and raspberry. I couldn't find any strawberries. :-{

And two more in the oven. Not a bad day's work if I do say so myself. It Will taste good during the winter. Our patch was so healthy, I think I may bet another picking, for Crumbles.

Getting ready for Winter!

When the rhubarb is ready it is time to put some down for the winter. This is half the goal (one third if I feel ambitious).

Step 1 is to chop up the rhubarb

 Step to is to coat it with the crumble mix. I replaced the wheat flour with rice flower. It worked out great.

 Step 3 is to cook it for an hour and drive myself nuts with the aroma. I know, some might say it is a short trip.

Step 4 is to cover and seal with aluminum foil and freeze.

I made up two pans on Thursday and we had the Whitecourt family over. The two trays lasted no time.

With a double scoop of vanilla ice cream, there is not much better for a dessert. The best part is rhubarb just keeps coming up with next to no maintenance. My kind of plant!

Anybody feeling hungry, or drooling yet?

Rhubarb crumble, ice cream, and coffee. It doesn't get much better than this!
