Rhubarb Curd

By

 Before rhubarb season wanes, I decided to make some rhubarb curd. It's been on my to-do list for years, but I always remember after all of the rhubarb is gone from the central coast. Argh! Not this year.

Ingredients

  • 6 C sliced rhubarb
  • 1/2 C water
  • zest from 1 organic lemon
  • 1/3 C honey (I used a local avocado honey)
  • 1/2 C organic powdered sugar
  • 8 T butter
  • 8 egg yolks
  • juice from 1 lemon

Procedure
Place the rhubarb, honey, water, and zest in a large, flat-bottom pan.


Cook over medium heat until the rhubarb softens and loses its shape.


In the meantime, place the powdered sugar, butter, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Heat the pan until the butter is completely melted. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Beat the yolks. Add 1/3 of the boiling liquid to the beaten yolks then add the mixture back into the boiling liquid. Continue beating over medium heat until it thickens. Be careful not to let the curd boil or it will scramble. Spoon the curd into sterilized jars and keep in the fridge.


One disappointment: the curd didn't retain the lovely pink of the rhubarb. But it was incredibly delicious! I can't wait to use this tomorrow morning.

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. 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.
