They really are a gift!
One thing I love with Rhubarb is to make lemonade - I use honey instead of sugar. I know it's still "sugar" but in my mind honey is goodness. I also chop up and freeze rhubarb. I'll drain the juice to drink and then use the pulp in "banana bread type loaves". There's a slight tartness but the honey in the bread is just enough to balance it.
I have never canned it before, not for any real reason other than I like having it available raw without sugar so I can do what I want with it.
Mmm lemonade! I know sugar isn't great, but we need a little sweetness in our lives, don't we? Plus, honey isn't all bad! Interesting, using the pulp in breads/loaves - not something I would have thought to do. Thanks for sharing. -Aimee
