Rhubarb Syrup

By


When a friend posted a link to Rhubarbaritas (yes, that would be margaritas flavored with tangy and sweet rhubarb!) on my facebook wall, I was instantly smitten...and I had just gotten some stalks in my High Ground Organics CSA box.

But, not being a huge tequila fan, I decided to make the rhubarb syrup and use it in a girly-pink champagne cocktail for Mothers' Day instead.

Thanks to Kevin and Beth for the birthday bubbly; it's on the chill for this weekend!







  • 3 C chopped rhubarb
  • 1 C organic raw sugar
  • 3 C water
  • 1/2 t pure vanilla extract 

    • In a saucepan over medium heat, bring rhubarb, sugar, water and vanilla extract to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Strain syrup from rhubarb and place in the refrigerator.

    Use the rhubarb as a compote. Mine will show up in a rhubarb fool with honey-ginger cookies.

    Stay tuned for that recipe this weekend.

    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...

    Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

    By
    If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
