Rhubarb Glut Ideas

Due to popular demand I'm listing all the rhubarb recipes in my preserve making bible '500 Recipes Jams Pickles Chutneys' by Marguerite Patten.  Price 2/6 in 1964!

I quote Marguerite Patten "Rhubarb in Jam Making: The best flavoured rhubarb for jam is the second crop in the autumn.  You can use spring rhubarb, but the flavour is not so good".

Rhubarb Conserve - Definition: with "additional ingredients to give a more unusual flavour."
Rhubarb Preserve - Definition: Preserves are more 'lightly cooked to "retain pieces of the fruit"

Rhubarb Jam
Rhubarb & Apple Jam
Rhubarb & Blackcurrant Jam
Rhubarb & Ginger Jam
Rhubarb & Gooseberry Jam
Rhubarb & Dried Fig Jam
Rhubarb & Strawberry Jam

Rhubarb Chutney (a different recipe to the one I made here)

Rhubarb Marmalade - just about to make it!

Rhubarb Syrup

I'm afraid I haven't time all the recipes out now.  But as they are short and sweet, I'm sure if you ask me very nicely I can send you one or two at a time!
