Just finished off my first bottle of rhubarb shrub today. Did you know that Sumner WA in US is the self-proclaimed rhubarb pie capitol of the world? Rhubarb ripened sooner in Sumner than in Michigan, another big growing location, and the farmers in Sumner made a big push to get their stalks to the east coast by train before the Michigan farmers did.
Thanks for sharing this Kate! Fascinating history, much of which I didn’t know before. I saw that you’ve started in-person classes again. It’s on my bucket list 😊.
Well recipe number one Is going to be a huge hit - especially with ME. And number three sounds delish and a must-try…
You know it! Make a big batch for when we come to visit! 🥰
I love the sound of pickled rhubarb!
Me too! Still hasn’t finished its 48-hour ferment. I think it will be great with a cheese course.
I've never thought to use Rhubarb for savoury recipes! I'll think again!
If you try it, let me know what you think!
