Here is a coffee cake recipe for you. It has been in my family for years and is found in our family cookbook. Rhubarb Coffee Cake 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 1/2 cup butter, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 cups flour, 2 cups of rhubarb. Mix wet ingredients with mixer then add dry ingredients and fold in rhubarb. Place in a greased 9 x 13 pan, top with 1/2 cup rhubarb, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon and put in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Here in Minnesota we laughingly call rhubarb a weed it grows so good here. I wash it and let dry on the counter then cut it into small chunks and freeze it on a cookie sheet and place it in a ice cream pail. In the middle of the winter I can take out whatever I want to make this cake or a strawberry rhubarb pie or jam. We pick and eat it till it freezes here. I have a church cookbook on rhubarb and it says it is a myth to only eat it till the end of June. After it freezes and the plant dies back I cover it with leaves that have fallen from the trees. I don't uncover them in the spring and the plant just pops up when the weather warms in the spring. I once had someone come and pick some and removed almost all the leaves and the plant did fine. We pull the stocks and cut the leaves off and place them under the plant cause I had heard they are poisonous and should not go in the compost pile. It also helps keep the weeds around the plant down. Made a cake this morning along with a chicken pasta salad for lunch. I added some walnuts and next time will add a small amount of sour cream as I thought it was a tad dry with the nuts. Thanks for sharing ..... your patch is beautiful.

We have a rhubarb plant which was given to about 6 yrs ago. My wifesUncle Frank’sparents broght the plant west from WI when they Came west . When he gave us the plant he said it wasan80yr.. old plant still producing. Amazingly tough old plant..

I've been eating stewed rhubarb all my life . After harvesting cut the rhubarb into inch to inch and a half long pieces, enough to fill a large stock pot . A couple of gallons. Cook on a very low flame with a cover , you may want to add a quarter cup of water to prevent scorching but if the flame is low enough you don't need it. It won't take too long and your rhubarb will break down so you can stir it. At this point add sugar to taste. I can mine in pint jars and water bath for ten minutes. Awsome on yogurt even better on vanilla ice cream 🍨 😋

I was raised in Louisville, Kentucky on a small farm. We had a small bed of rhubarb and even year something was made with the rhubarb. I'm now 70 and can still remember just about everything from my youth years.

I've had strawberry rhubarb pie. It was ok, but nothing to write home about. I'd rather have peach cobbler or apple pie. I guess it's an acquired taste. I like blueberries too but service berries have a much better flavor, though smaller. I have to fight off the birds to get a handful. They virtually attack the service berries. For jelly...muscadines are great.

I live in the UK and Yorkshire rhubarb has been part of my diet since World War 2 My mother used to put rhubarb pieces into Yorkshire pudding mix and we ate it with a sprinkling of sugar. My mother also made rhubarb wine.I now live in the south and have taken a piece of rhubarb with me every time I've moved house .

and Vitamin K

Rhubarb is rich in Vit K (I'm not talking about Potassium whose shortened form is written as K but rather talking about actual Vitamin K). I have used rhubarb in a whole lot of items - finely chopped in my morning yogurt, stir fried with other veggies, juice (alone and sometimes mixed with other fruit), stewed (typically alone but occasionally with other fruit), jelly& jam (all on it's own and occasionally added to other fruit), in soup and stew as a veggie, the typical pie (alone or mixed with other fruit), and as a fruit in cakes, loaves, and muffins. I have not made rhubarb wine or liqueur ... yet. We used to have a 200 foot row so we typically got a few hundred pounds of rhubarb off it annually. When I moved from the farm I saved about 20 plants which are now potted up. For the record, I've harvested ALL summer - not just for the spring. I just make sure to harvest the leaves that are the oldest for each plant to make sure that new ones keep coming up so that we don't get woody ones. I do make sure to leave enough time for the end of the growing season so that the plants have time to build up enough nutrients in the root to carry them through the winter into the next year.

I am Norwegian, living in Denmark. I have rhubarb in my garden and just love it. In the old days in Norway rhubarb was a life saver. The first fresh source of vitamin C of the year. Ready to be harvested from late April and all summer. Great video. Thanks. I hit like and subscribe 👍

My mom taught me to wiggle the stalk back & forth as you pull. Helps prevent the stem from snapping. As seniors, we live in an apartment now, without a garden. This year, on our balcony, as an experiment, I planted a single rhubarb plant in a large pot. With regular watering it's thriving but the test for it will be our cold Canadian winter. In the meantime, I find that other gardeners are quite generous with their rhubarb. Thank you for your very informative video!

The tapioca is a thickener. My mother made a lot of rhubarb pies over the years and canned stewed rhubarb as well so we could enjoy the sweet tart goodness all through the years. Growing up with this in the culinary mix, I initially rejected rhubarb pie with strawberries in it. Now I’ll sample it once in a while but I still prefer the sweet tart flavor of rhubarb pie. (I also like cherry pie, so it’s not surprising that I especially like the tart cherries best.)

Thanks for that! I love rhubarb! I’m from England originally, before coming to Canada, our favourite recipe is rhubarb crumble! I also love stewed rhubarb with custard!

Blueberry rhubarb jam is excellent

A friend offers a picking off her rhubarb plant every May. Her 2 plants originally came ftom her grandparents farm in the 1910s or 1920s, moved 3-4 times over the years. Last transplanted to currect location in 1970s. She gave me a full 5-gallon bucket full if stralks last week. Put 7 freezer bags with 4 cups in each bag for use in fall and winer. My 91 year old dad loves rhubarb. Huge smile from him when I walk in with the bucket full. My 6 plants transplanted 4 years will give me about half that this year. Enough for a bag every till next years harvest. Found a strawberry/rhubarb drop biscuit with lemon drizzle I want to try from Chef John from food wishes. Happy gardening from Idaho!

I’m a born & raised Minnesotan. Rhubarb is everywhere there. We recently moved to Missouri and I missed my rhubarb so I bought some crowns last spring and put them in a raised bed. I was nervous because rhubarb is more of a northern cold loving plant. But to my surprise, they’ve been growing wonderfully. I’m so happy to have rhubarb again! I didn’t harvest any the 1st year & harvested about 1/4 of the stalks this year and will leave it alone til next year. Can’t wait to make some yummy rhubarb desserts.

Mom used to make rhubarb sauce and serve it with vanilla ice cream. To die for!

Rhubarb very popular in lower Michigan. I use to pick it in the alley way in Detroit as a kid. 62 now and I think i'll grow some, :)

Frank Johnson had a really nice rhubarb plant growing on the S side of his house, 20 feet from the clothes poles in our back yard. When we were little, not yet teenagers, we used to sneak up there when no one was looking and we would pick a couple of stalks and eat them with salt every summer. Of course everyone had already given their permission so we never got into trouble. The rhubarb was wonderful. We all went out to the farm as well and picked tons of strawberries and Frank got the combo pies that his mom who was very elderly couldn't pick and make into pies anymore. It was a fabulous time. We also had vanilla ice cream on top of the hot pies. Great memory. Thanks Frank. Thanks mom.

Im in MA and I believe it does grow wild in NH also. Just a PSA for anyone who is concerned with reading the word sumac, Staghorn sumac is not poisonous and the berries make a wonderfully light tart flavored drink.

They are still going strong 23 years and counting. My yard has the richest black soil in the neighborhood the others have clay soil.

@@bettyadkisson1681 Thanks for the lead. Tucson has wonderful gardening weather but the 90-100 day summer of 100+ degree temperatures is hard on everything. Getting the rhubarb through that period would be tough. We also have very alkaline soil so amending it to acidic and maintaining it would also have to be done. I'll buy it frozen if I need it for a pie.

I always put a pop bottle of water at the base full of water or a cotton string going too the roots. Thats what my friend dies for garden when going on vacation but she uses 5 gallon buckets. And she thanked me for the help.

@@bettyadkisson1681 Have you ever gardened in a three month 100+ degree Farenheit environment? Rhubarb simply can't handle it.

Mixing rhubarb with strawberries or other fruits in a pie is like pouring the best wine into a soup. Rhubarb is such a wonderful flavor by itself, I would not want to disguise it. My favorite way is just to dice and stew and sweeten with sugar and eat with a spoon. I freeze a years supply in plastic tubs after stewing.

Thank you so much...
