The most popular uses for Rhubarb, as far as I know is to make a rhubarb jam or a rhubarb pie.
But now since we have moved to South Dakota, I found out that we have a Rhubarb plant in our backyard by the woods.
So here I go, digging through old recipe books on different ways
to cook our rhubarb. The first recipe I found was for Rhubarb Crisp.
Rhubarb Crisp
4 to 6 c. rhubarb
3
T. tapioca
1 c. sugar
1 can mandarin oranges
1 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. brown
sugar
2 T. flour
1/2 c. oleo
Mix diced rhubarb, tapioca, 1 cup sugar and mandarin oranges. Press mixture into 9x13 cake pan. Mix together oatmeal, brown sugar, flour, and oleo. Top rhubarb mixture with oatmeal mixture. Bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes.
Rhubarb Crunch
1/4 c. flour
1
c. brown sugar
3/4 c. oatmeal (uncooked)
1/2 c. margarine
6 c. rhubarb
1
c. water
1 1/2 c. white sugar

Mix
flour, brown sugar, oatmeal and margarine until crumbly. Press 3/4 of the crumb
mixture in a 9x13x2 pan. Put the rhubarb on crumbs. Mix the white sugar, cornstarch
and water; cook until thick, then add the vanilla. Pour the cooked mixture over
the rhubarb. Sprinkle the rest of the crumb mixture on top. Bake in preheated
350 oven until rhubarb is done, about 45 to 60 minutes.
