Recipe
An old-fashioned recipe that I was given years ago. At that time, I had 3 large patches of rhubarb and was always looking for ways to use it. We have since moved, and I miss my patches of rhubarb. Luckily many people have a patch in their yard and are willing to share. For versatility decrease the rhubarb by 1 cup and add 1 cup of sliced strawberries in the spring or 1 cup of diced apples in the fall.
