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...

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

    By
    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.

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.
