Icelandic Rhubarb "Raisins"


I was slacking on my photo-taking. By the time I looked back at the dish, only five small raisins were left. I'll definitely be making this again! For our Sankt Hans Aften picnic celebration, I found a recipe for Icelandic rhubarb raisins. Though I am not a huge raisin fan, the rhubarb part of the recipe intrigued me. And, given how quickly these were devoured, they were a hit!

The recipe I found said to do this in the sun, covered with a thin cloth to keep the dust and bugs away. I used my oven! No bugs there...

Ingredients

  • rhubarb
  • organic granulated sugar

Procedure
Slice your rhubarb into 1/2" to 1" pieces and place them in a small mixing bowl. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to the lowest setting yours has. Mine was 170 degrees. F.

Add enough granulated sugar to the bowl to coat the rhubarb pieces completely. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and stick them in the oven.


Bake them until they are dried and shriveled. I think I left mine in the oven for about 4 hours. You can pack them in sugar or eat them right away. Use them anywhere you would use raisins!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
