Favorite Easy Rhubarb Recipes
Rhubarb Sauce
This simple, tangy rhubarb sauce recipe uses only three ingredients and produces the most delicious rhubarb topping you’ve ever tasted. It’s a nice alternative to more traditional fruit sauces.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
In this strawberry rhubarb crisp recipe, one of our very favorite easy rhubarb recipes, the familiar combination of rhubarb and fresh strawberries is baked under a light, crumbly crust. Serve warm with slightly softened vanilla ice cream spooned over the top.

Rhubarb Coffee Cake
This rhubarb coffee cake works equally well when served for breakfast, a snack, or dessert (or all three in one day). Rhubarb provides a subtle tartness, while the topping provides a great sweetness and crunchiness.Deep-Dish Rhubarb Pie
We love rhubarb not just because it signals spring, but also because its tart flavor and silky texture produce great pies. No need to always pair rhubarb with strawberry. This all-rhubarb pie is a welcome spring treat, and one of our most popular easy rhubarb recipes. If you prefer the strawberry-rhubarb combination, however, there’s always our Strawberry Rhubarb Pie recipe.

Rhubarb Punch
This refreshing punch is cheery and unexpected, and gets a pretty pink hue from the rhubarb. The base mix is sweet, but achieves perfect balance as the melting ice dilutes it.Strawberry-Rhubarb Muffins
Exceptional muffins with a tart-sweet flavor complemented by a cinnamon topping. Serve with Honey Butter, made by whipping half a cup of unsalted butter with two tablespoons honey and a tablespoon of brandy.

I absolutely love rhubarb and was very disappointed when I found out that I hadn’t Frozen as much as I thought to get me through the winter. In Massachusetts I don’t expect to see any for at least another 6 weeks, weather from my garden or Farmers Market. I wish there were companies that froze it like they do so many fruits.
I just bought frozen cubed rhubarb at Market Basket.
Check Walmart, they will sometimes have it. Also Trader Joe’s. I’ve seen it there.

Always looking for great rhubarb recipes!

I like to add a little nutmeg to my rhubarb sauce, and find I can get away with less sugar by doing this.
Great idea. I like using less sugar. My plants are coming out from the Winter in Michigan. I will make jam this year.
So many Great eating Foods, I’m still amazed, as there is plenty i’ve never tried after growing up in R.I. But that won’t stop me now, New England Today Food is Wonderful, Thank You.
As a kid I recall my Mom making stewed rhubarb – what a treat.

My grandmother’s recipe for Rhubarb Custard pie is a family favorite. Nice change from the usual Rhubarb-Strawberry combo

can I grow rhubarb in florida?
I live in Citrus Co and brought mine from MI and it died the first year here and I tried to grow once again and it failed as well.
My favorite rhubarb recipe is Rhubarb Custard Pie. Idaho rhubarb will probably be up in a month or so.
Please send me your rhubarb custard pie recipe!! Nancyldeangelo@gmail.com
Oh my gosh, could you please send it to me too? Sounds Heavenly!
Rhubarb custard pie sounds great. Is there a recipe on this web.?
Do a quick search on the search engines. Found many such recipes, very simple to do.
Rhubarb has been a staple in my parents garden for 50 years. That tangy flavor is a wonderful summer treat. We always freeze some to keep for thanksgiving.
I have a great rhubarb clafoutis recipe in my new cookbook The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook published by Harper Horizon.
Rhubarb cherry crisp is the best!
I am one of the few people I know who likes rhubarb. No strawberries to dilute the mouth watering tartness. Don’t see a lot of it here in the South. Yum
I remember as a kid over sixty-five years ago my Mother found rhubarb growing wild in the fields and woods around Glastonbury Ct, she brought some home and treated my brother and I to s freshly picked stalk dipped in a bit of sugar, we loved it! Then she made strawberry-rhubarb pie; thanks for the memories and recipes!
