I'm going to try it. Now I'm wondering about the nutrional value of rhubarb. I'll have to check that out, too. Tainterturles spinach salad recipe sounds unusual and delicious.donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321864236365403923.post-62461628932356991912009-06-03T08:42:50.546-05:002009-06-03T08:42:50.546-05:00Tainterturtles- Thanks, I look forward to the reci...Tainterturtles- Thanks, I look forward to the recipes.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366265723756163595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321864236365403923.post-73687046882811249522009-06-03T08:39:18.301-05:002009-06-03T08:39:18.301-05:00Donna- I sometimes use this recipe from the blog C...Donna- I sometimes use this recipe from the blog Culinate for rhubarb soda but substitute stevia instead of sugar- <br />Ingredients<br /> 1½ cups rhubarb, roughly chopped <br /> 1 cup sugar <br /> 1½ cups water <br /> ~ Sparkling water <br /> ~ Ice <br /><br />1.Place rhubarb, sugar, and 1½ cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the syrup is bright pink.<br />2.Turn off the heat and allow to cool. Strain syrup into a large jar.<br />3.To make each soda, measure ¼ cup rhubarb syrup into a glass. Add enough sparkling water to fill the glass ⅔ full. Stir to mix, then add ice.<br /><br />I also make a rhubarbade using just water, not sparkling water. I have so much rhubarb, I keep trying to find new ways to use it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366265723756163595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321864236365403923.post-69791756794675546982009-06-03T06:44:18.944-05:002009-06-03T06:44:18.944-05:00I have a couple rhubarb recipes I could share with...I have a couple rhubarb recipes I could share with you. I will send them your way this weekend.<br /><br />I also have a good spinach salad recipe that uses both radishes and watermelon along with feta cheese and a homemade dressing...the combination of all ingredients are very unique (a Jamie Oliver recipe, naked chef!).tainterturtleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10307790480251741661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321864236365403923.post-420304005249523932009-06-03T05:54:34.984-05:002009-06-03T05:54:34.984-05:00Bread, butter, ice cream and wine....who could ask...Bread, butter, ice cream and wine....who could ask for anything more? I know next to nothing about vegetable gardening so I'm fascinated with radish names like hailstone and french breakfast. I use stevia in my cranwater (unsweetened cranberry juice & water), but what is rhubarbade?donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.com
