Yesterday
I pulled up a huuuuge amount of rhubarb from my garden. Some of it is going to be made in to rhubarb crumble ice cream, but now I'm stuck with what to do with the rest. Any suggestions for using 5kg of the stuff?

It's meant to be sharp
Rhubarb's no use unless you feel it dissolving your tooth enamel!

Make it into rhubarb crumbles or similar
Or:

1 -stew it then freeze it, and defrost later in the year for more delicious crumbles etc.

2 - make it into jam.

3 - sell/give it to your friends and neighbours.

My dad used to boil it down
then use it as a topping for crumbles, ice cream, fruit salad etc...

Paint it greenish white...
...and pretend it's celery. Then offer it to unsuspecting house guests with humus.

Oh no!
Rhubarb is an early summer treat to be relished.

It's got the bonus of being especially useful if you haven't shat for a while. Better than all that pish they try to sell you on Channel 4 during Countdown.

Early summer indeed
Hopefully, I should be able to persuade the plant to give me a second crop. Need to harvest some manure from the horses next door.

Yes
but you need to take young tender stalks. The old tough stringy ones are horrible.

And make sure you avoid the leaves. They've got oxalic acid in them, which is toxic.

Oh yes. It really is lovely especially when allowed to get very alcoholic.

You must be all loaded or something with your big ovens..
