Rabarbersuppe Med Vin (Danish Rhubarb Wine Soup)

I made this - Rabarbersuppe Med Vin (Danish Rhubarb Wine Soup) - and, uncharacteristically, served it to actual Danes.

Normally, if I'm making a traditional recipe, I will not serve it to someone who has actually eaten it! But I did. And it was a hit. I swapped out the traditional red wine in the recipe for whatever wine I had - leftover prosecco.

Ulla did mention that she thought the recipe should have been 2 vanilla pods instead of the 2 cinnamon sticks. I thought it was odd to have whole cinnamon plus the ground cinnamon. Still, everyone loved it and came back for seconds and thirds!

Ingredients

3/4 C organic granulated sugar
1 C water
2 cinnamon sticks
1 t ground cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
juice from 1 lemon
2 C wine (I used some left over prosecco)
2 C rhubarb, sliced

Procedure

Combine water, sugar, and cinnamon sticks. Cook, stirring continually, until the mixture boils. Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, wine, and rhubarb. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until the rhubarb begins to soften and lose its shape. Remove the cinnamon sticks. You can serve it hot. Or, like we did, serve chilled as a great summer soup. It was the perfect addition to our Sankt Hans Aften (Danish summer solstice) beach picnic.

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.

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. Ke...
