This weekend, I bought my first greenmarket rhubarb of the season. I bagged just over a pound of pip-squeak little stalks that were piled in a foil roasting pan and shoved next to some kale. The lady who came after me said something about not wanting to be greedy and after the lady who came after her, it was gone. This, my friends, is the most wonderful time of the year. Here are some recipes, so you’re ready.
What’s on your rhubarb to-do list this year?
Rhubarb Almond Breakfast Cakes from The Year in Food
Rhubarb Fool from The First Mess

Mine is slowly growing…but this week is supposed to be hot and it should take off. I can’t wait to get cooking and baking!
So exciting, Aimee. I expect to see some rhubarb plant instagram progress:)
Rhubarb lovers unite! Thanks for sharing my link!
Thanks, Yossy. I bookmarked your recipe last spring I think and never got around to making it. It’s definitely on this year.
I’ve been loving your recipe for Rhubarb Shrub – I definitely prefer it to a regular rhubarb syrup. In addition to shrub and lots of rhubarb pies, I’ve been making rhubarb and meyer lemon jam and rhubarb tea bread.
Yeah! I am so happy to hear that you’ve been enjoying the shrub. And 3 cheers for an all rhubarb pie.
Rhubarb season never lasts long enough for me. This list will certainly make that true this year!!
