Freezing Our Rhubarb For Later

Strawberries and Rhubarb - Strawberry and Rhubarb together has long been a flavour I love and when you put them together in a pie, well that just rocks.

We have quite a little patch of Rhubarb that's behind the garage so we tend to forget about it sometimes. We have cut some a few times already this spring and had some really good Rhubarb, but you can only eat so much at one time. Then our strawberries started to ripen and the combination of strawberries and rhubarb is so good I can hardly wait for more to grow. We kind of ate the first batch of strawberries without thinking about the rhubarb and the birds got the second batch of strawberries. We went out this weekend and bought a net to put over our strawberries, so we should have more ripe red strawberries in another week. When they are ripe again I plan to make a strawberry and rhubarb pie. That brings back memories of being on the farm as a kid. Mmmmm Good Memories Do you make pies? And do yo mix and match the content of your pies?

I haven't had any rhubarb for years. I use to make a jam with rhubarb and Jello that was very good. My daughter would make the jam every year when she lived in Michigan. she had the plants at her home there. Strawberry and rhubarb pie sounds so good. I'm going to have o find some rhubarb to make some.

We didn't have rhubarb before buying this home but as soon as we saw it growing behind the garage we started cutting. And then we planted one strawberry plant and now we have lots of both.

my mum freezes a lot of rhubarb, and it's always still delicious when it's defrosted and used.

We want to freeze some also but we haven't stopped eating it long enough to put any in the freezer. :)

Yes I like rhubarb too. It is good with a mixture of strawberries. My mom always had some in the Summer as dessert.
