For most of my life I only thought of rhubarb when I heard Garrison Keillor sing about it on the radio. But when I went to college in southern Indiana I couldn’t miss the bright red stalks that graced the farmers’ market every spring. Rhubarb is an odd vegetable: The stalks are incredibly sour and the leaves are poisonous. But treat it right and it’s utterly delicious. Most recipes call for a heavy dose of sugar in the rhubarb although any sweet spring fruit will do the trick. We love rhubarb in sweets like pies and compotes but its tart flavor also lends itself well to cocktails and nonalcoholic beverages. From rhubarb crisps to a fruity Sidecar twist keep reading for 17 of our favorite rhubarb recipes.
Quick pickling is an easy way to get a few extra weeks out of your harvest in a short season. Here we pickle rhubarb in a lemongrass and ginger brine plus lots of sugar. Use light brown sugar which balances the tart rhubarb and has a deep robust flavour that can stand up to the intense aromas.
