    Love it stewed in diet lemonade to use with custard or in crumbles with apple. Yum. Also had it made into a sort of jam at an up-market coffee shop servedon warm scones with cream as part of their winter menu. Yummo!!!!

    My old neighbor once was so proud of the fact that she had wild rhubarb growing in her yard. She washed it, chopped it, made homemade crust, put it into a pie. She made the pie for her mother who had stopped by, her mom asked if she could get some of the wild rhubarb growing in her yard. So my neighbor took her mom out back and showed her the lovely patch of rhubarb.............only it wasn't rhubarb....... it was a weed. Thankfully her mom told her before they ate the pie.

    I just planted two rhubarb roots. I wish it didn't take so long to grow them before I can harvest it!

    I remember my grandmother making rhubarb pie when I was young. It was my favorite.
    Psalm 30:11-12 (New King James Version)

    11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
    You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
    12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
    O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

    "Cause I just wanna be with You
    I just want this waiting to be over
    I just want to be with You
    And it helps to know the Day is getting closer

    Every minute takes an hour
    Every inch feels like a mile
    Til I won't have to imagine
    And I finally get to see You smile"

    So is it kind of like my 'stewing' method which is made by either just adding sugar and a little water and cooking until it breaks down or as I said, diet lemonade is a good substitute for sugar? Wondering if your 'sauce' and my 'stew' is the same thing

    What I do is cut the rhubarb in about 1inch chunks. Their is alot of rhubarb.I put enough water to cover the bottom of a large pan.I put my rhubarb in the pan and cook it on medium heat.I add about a cup of sugar.It could probably use more but I like it to be as healthy as possible.It just breaks up after about 20 minutes into a thick sauce.I add about a teaspoon of vanilla.Alot of recipes say to add butter.I do not to keep it healthy. So your stew and my sauce sound similar. Lemonade and rhubarb? I am not quite sure about that.

    I remember eating rhubarb, fresh from the garden and we'd dip the rhubarb stick into a bowl of sugar. It was still sharp.

    And I love buckwheat flour or buckwheat itself - they are both from the rhubarb family.

    As I cannot eat wheat flour, they are a nutty, tasty substitute.

    Yep sounds very similar. The Lemonade actually is just in place of the water and sugar. Depends on whether you don't mind artificial sweetener I suppose. Good for a diabetic.

    Rhubarb is the only plant that my husband will eat, otherwise he won't touch a vegetable. Maybe tomorrow I'll have to go out and pick some more. He loves rhubarb sauce.
