    I don't have much success with growing rhubarb in the ground at our place, but I did recently find an article which said it is fine in a giant pot..so I'm off to buy some plants as soon as I can. Rhubarb is absolutely beautiful...and these recipes have given me cravings!!!

    My DH & I make jams & jellies for the local farm stands. A few years ago we made Rhubarb Jam & sold so little it didn't pay to make it! We make about 1500 - 1800 jars a year, so----.

    I freeze extra from my patch every year. It works in cake or crisp, or whatever, just as well as fresh. Yummy. :D

    My ABSOLUTE Favorite rhubarb recipe:

    Cherry/Rhubarb pie

    2 1/2 cups cut up rhubarb
    1 can cherry pie filling
    1 cup sugar
    dash cinnamon

    mix together and put in pie crust and cover with another crust,
    bake 50 minutes at 350º (longer if not bubbling from top slit)

    you can not pass up this one....
    I made this and added one package of cherry jello to the ingredients. It came out wonderful.

    I cut up and froze fresh rhubarb and when I wanted to make a pie with it, I thawed and drained it (but did not squeeze the liquid out - just let it drain in a colander until it was thawed. Then I made the pie just like I would have if I was using fresh rhubarb, used the same amount and type of thickener, sugar, etc. It came out so watery and soupy - it was a mess and the fruit was so expensive - I was really upset. The only thing I can blame is the thawed out rhubarb.

    Does anyone know what I did wrong? Has anyone successfully used frozen rhubarb to make a two-crusted pie? Did it turn out? Please help!
