I would be a hero around here if I made this. The only thing I have ever made with rhubarb is a pie and it is Doc's favorite.
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
ReplyDeleteRhubarb pie is next on my list...the hubby loves it too as well as Strawberry Rhubarb pie. I found a recipe for Pineapple Rhubarb pie online that I'm looking forward to trying.
