I canned 1 jar for juice last year. Just tasted it today and it was great. Planning on doing more. 1/2 cup sugar in a qt jar. 1 cup rhubarb. Fill with water and i pressure canned it. I made it like the grape juice.

My rhubarb has been growing for over 35 years 😉

We harvested about 50 lbs today! I’ve still got 30 plants left to harvest!! I’ve never thought about canning it. I freeze dry or freeze it. Rhubarb dump cake! It’s so yummy.

I’ve been struggling with my one plant for years 😂 I’ve never harvested any

Make a shortbread crust put 3/4 of it in the pan and save the other 1/4. Mix one can of cherry pie filling with 1 and a 1/2 cups of rhubarb and a splash of almond extract and a pinch of salt. Bake the crust until light golden brown add the filling( no need to cool crust) and crumble the extra topping on top, bake until brown and bubbly.

I miss rhubarb. My grandma used to grow it & I loved it because I love tart far more than sweet.

I only have 7 ruhbarb plants, but i always get 2 cuttings a year. I make ruhbarb and strawberry jelly, bread, pie and i can it.

Grandma made rhubarb custard pies❤️

We have a Rhubarb Fest the first weekend of June. I can rhubarb sauce and preserves. I freeze the rest for cake, bread, rhubarb upside down cake and more. I do make one strawberry rhubarb pie every year.

May I ask when and how you seperate? I have a 2 year set that finally is working for me. This is the third time planted and with success but I would love to know more. Thank you!

I really wish I could grow this but it's to hot here in Florida I miss it so much when I lived in Wisconsin my father in law grew it so much it was a treat for this southern gal!!

We moved from Minnesota to Missouri and I was missing our rhubarb. I planted the Victoria variety, which I heard does better in warmer climates, and it’s growing and producing beautifully! We planted 4 in a big deep raised bed. I cut it back in the fall and use the leaves to cover/mulch it. Love my rhubarb so much! Thx Leisa ❤️

I can remember my mom making stewed rhubarb and we would have it warm over vanilla ice cream. Sooo good!

Thank you for this! We are up in NW Washington near the border. I have a huge rhubarb that I never know what to do with other than jam.

I moved in March to Kalamazoo and planted 2 bare root rhubarbs about 2 weeks ago and they have green leaves starting! Yay! I'm so excited! I think I'll order some another variety this fall or next spring because I just love it! Thanks so much for your videos, I've learned lots and stated canning after my move also! Love my new life!

I Live in the part of Canadian ware Rhubarb is prolific - not a dad problem to have. Great to know it can be canned. How many of us have that handed down recipe "Aunt Jane, she was lovely but her cooking techniques today my kill you 😜" I have a few recipes handed down - with what I know today, I have never followed one precisely.

It really is!

Seeing the rhubarb stalks brings back memories of my dad making rhubarb pie most summers when I was young and still at home in Upstate NY...we had a small garden in the backyard and grew rhubarb, tomatoes, bunny rabbits, and rocks! My dad was brought up in a small, rural village about an hour from where we lived, and he likely learned the recipe from his parents, who were both brought up on farms near his family home...

My great aunt used to have a rhubarb plant!

My parents used to make sauce out of it. (similar to apple sauce) They would cook it down and add sugar. We often had it with a meal.

Rhubarb dump cake is yummy and use it with pork as a marinade and then sauce

When I was a kid, my grandmother would make rhubarb sauce and serve it hot over vanilla ice cream. It was the best!

I put a stick of rhubarb in my borscht to give it a sour flavors. My Ukrainian grandmother always did that when she made borscht.

I'm sitting here eating the last of my rhubarb cake while watching how to preserve the rest of my harvest. 😊 Thank you so much!

The first rule of RHUBARB is never plant it. The second is WTF is it good for. The third is WHY. It is just red celery and taste funny. It requires a lot sugar to be eatable. If it is canned, you only need one jar for an entire year. The partial jar, you could have just added more HOT water. A pint of Rhubarb is the right size to viciously throw at someone you don't like. Great video on preserving it. Comments above were in jest. It is actually a good thing to can.

It does pretty well in coastal areas of Oregon too!

Oh I love Rhubarb , THANK YOU LEISA

Excited to watch this, I didn’t know I could can it. I picked 35 pounds from my plants and there’s more ready again. I’m in Michigan too, about 90 minutes south of you. I’ve been freezing it for now due to lack of time. Thanks Leisa 🧡 Lorie 😊

You and I are definitely on the same wavelength. I planted 3 more rhubarb roots this afternoon. I love canning rhubarb sauce. My husband likes it better than applesauce, but I'm still making him eat all that applesauce. Not all this year. I'm not that cruel. I have inspected my apple trees and it looks like another bumper crop year. I'm going to still put some away myself but the neighbors are going to enjoy it this year.

Consider stretching and also sweetening your rhubarb with apple sauce. You can also make "pear sauce" (same as apple sauce but with pears, old school used to save bruised windfalls and those not holding well in thier dark cool spot) and use it with rhubarb. We never canned the mix.

By gosh, rhubarb is a hardy perennial that if it has red stalks or ruffled leaves works pretty well in the ornamental garden too. If you lay wettened leaves over the soil surface it does a pretty good job of killing off weed seedlings and some ants too.

I like a little almond flavoring in my rhubarb sauce. Can I add a tsp or so to my sauce before water bath canning?

It's too hot here in the Piedmont of North Carolina to grow rhubarb as a perennial. Rhubarb requires at least 500 hours of winter temperatures between 28 and 49 degrees for plants to go into rest period and produce an adequate amount of new leaf buds
