Rhubarb
I wonder if anyone here has tried boiling rhubarb then adding in a
jelly block when off the stove, mix it in and let it set. I block to around 1 pint of cooked rhubarb Best if you can find it is Apricot Jelly. David @ the sunny end of Swansea Bay |

After mixing with the cooked rhubarb pour it into a mould and let it set. Janet |

Haver you tried cooking rhubarb, no sugar; make a sweet custard and whizz the two together I call it Rhubarb Fool, but that's my own name for I quite often cook rhubarb without sugar, depending on what I'm going to do with it. If it's for a pie, I add sugar, if it's for a crumble or cake topping, which will be sweet, I don't, or lightly sugar it. |

Another one I havn't tried, Years ago I was told by an old lady who had been a nanny during the first world war. She used to cut rhubarb into 2 inch lengths; if thick then she would split it in half; she would then dip it into a sweet batter and deep fry it for the children. David @ the sunny but still damp end of Swansea Bay Oh that sounds delicious. I made a (powdered) custard fool with the rhubarb recently. Works for me. -- http://www.voucherfreebies.co.uk |

I'm just thinking about whether it'd work with bread and butter as a pudding ... I made one with jam sandwiches recently and it was delicious. Which reminds me I have a jar of orange and rhubarb jam in the cupboard! Don't see why not. I like chocolate and banana bread + butter pud. |

I intensely dislike the metallic taste of lactic and oxalic acids in sweet foods, as do a fair number of people. For us, rhubarb needs salt and chilli to be tolerable. I have a deal with my wife; if I grow it, she doesn't even offer any to me. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I'm just thinking about whether it'd work with bread and butter as a pudding ... I made one with jam sandwiches recently and it was delicious. Which reminds me I have a jar of orange and rhubarb jam in the cupboard! Go and have a look at the various things used as food/puddings/fillers during the Second World War. I will be doing an illustrated talk to a WI Meeting next month and the things I came up with surprised me, even though I lived through WWII. The whole theme of the evening is going to be ""Food Rationing during World War II"" and some, with hope most, are turning up in 1940's gear. In an email to the Secretary today, I have suggested the 'Gravy Browning stockings with Eye Liner seams'. Many of you haven't had it bad enough to realise what that means. Kind regards Mike Thanks I will do! I've read about gravy browning legs and eye liner seams - Not tried it though! Reminds me of a joke I heard yesterday - seams straight but legs wonky ... -- http://www.voucherfreebies.co.uk |

I use brioche instead of bread. Can I have your recipe for orange and rhubarb jam please? I didn't make it! I will ask the lady who did next time I see her though! -- http://www.voucherfreebies.co.uk |

It was almost* amusing when teachers surveyed our favourite breakfast foods and I said swiss roll + pink custard. :-/ |
