Recently a friend of mine brought me some rhubarb plants. Â She had bought more than she needed so passed these along to me. Â I went to plant them and noticed that my rhubarb plant had shot out and was growing after the rains we had.
I’m so excited about these!! Â Anytime anyone wants to share rhubarb, I’m you girl!!
I picked some rhubarb and went to the house to make something with it. Â I like trying new recipes and Hubby is a great food tester. Â He’ll try anything. Â He’s a real trouper and finishes most everything too…so to the recipe books I went. Â I got the Mississippi Valley Quilter’s cookbook and decided to try the first recipe I had all the ingredients for no matter if it sounded odd.
This is the recipe I found.
I’ve apparently not made a cobbler before because as I went along, I was sure this wouldn’t turn out….PLEASE NOTE I DOUBLED THE RECIPE THAT’S WHY MY PAN IS 9 x 13.
First I put the rhubarb down. Â Then I put the batter down and it would barely cover the rhubarb…then cover it with a sugar mix….
..and then pour two cups of water over the top. Â I took pictures because it seemed so weird!
How can this globby mess turn into anything???
….but an hour later I had this….
and an hour after that, I had this. Â Oh my YUMMY!!! Â This is the new rhubarb recipe that is here to stay. Â Man-oh-man this is good.
Hubby declared it his new favorite. Â We both laughed as we were both sure there was misprint or typo in the recipe. Â No way did it sound or seem like it would turn out!!
I have a recipe for rhubarb scones I’m going to try
I love this recipe. I’ve used it for years. It’s good with any fruit: apples, pears, berries, peaches, pie cherries – you name it and it comes out delicious! Add a tsp. of cinnamon to the sugar mix and the apples shine.
My favorite is from a lady at my church who just mixes a yellow cake mix and pours it over sugared rhubarb and puts chopped nuts on top, bake for an hour at 350 degrees. My boys devour it every time.
This is a good old fashioned recipe–I got mine from my mother-in-law. She loves rhubarb and has many good recipes. I’m out of town right now but I will try to remember to send you one.
Yep! This is an oldie but a goodie! My mom always made it when I was growing up 40 years ago!
You like cake mixes & are now enjoying rhubarb, right? This is for you, we love it and fight over it up here in AK (when there’s only 1 pan at our favorite BBQ of the yr.)rhubarb grows very well here as do many things with 24 hrs of daylight. lol P.S. I’m sorry about getting snitty in a previous blog about the leggings thing. It was a very,horrific, sad, week for me & I commented when I shouldn’t have. Forgive me, please? I do enjoy your blog so much. You can serve this warm with icecream, whipcream or nothing at all & it’s so simple. Rhubarb Custard Cake
Ingredients
1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
4 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Whipped cream and fresh mint, optional
Directions
Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with rhubarb and sugar. Slowly pour cream over top.
Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and mint if desired. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12-15 servings.
Editor’s Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
I have made many rhubarb recipes and this is one I have not tried. I have saved the recipe and will try to get some rhubarb to try it. My husband loves rhubarb anything. Thanks for sharing
I am so happy to read this post! I thought I was misremembering my childhood! These strawberry pies you BAKED remind me I’m not! I live in California and the only strawberry pies you can get here are fresh strawberries in a crust with this sweet red “sauce” all over it. It’s good, but I remember BAKING strawberry pie as a kid. We were a big pie making family and l loved the strawberry pie! I have my mothers recipe box and there is not a recipe for any strawberry pies. I imagine you make it like any baked berry pie.
Thanks, again, for these wonderful memories!
Glad I could help!!
We are having a time of it getting rhubarb to grow in our garden. But we keep trying. Bought some at the farmers’ market while we wait for our own. I have pinned this recipe and can’t wait to try it. All I have is a recipe for rhubarb pie. Thanks for always sharing with your readers.
