There is something about rhubarb that screams spring! I remember being a kid and picking a piece of rhubarb to snack on with some sugar. Or Mom would cook it down with sugar so we could spread it on toast. Yum! I’m drooling just thinking about it!
This recipe is a great way for you to use some of your spring crop of rhubarb. And it comes from my Aunt Paul’s top-secret recipe files! Psst…nobody tell her! It’ll be our secret!

I am absolutely going to steal some rhubarb out of my grandmother’s garden and try this recipe. Rhubarb is one of my favourite things in the whole world!
