My mother-in-law has just given me a big bag of gorgeous rhubarb from her garden.  I've decided to get out the canning supplies and make a batch, maybe two, of orange rhubarb chutney.  Will make lovely gifts and I certainly won't mind keeping a couple of jars for myself.

I don't know what I'll do with the rest of the rhubarb but am thinking of freezing it to deal with later. 

I'm also eyeing these beautiful rhubarb recipes to try:

• Tofu with hot and sour rhubarb sauce from Mostly Eating
• Potato Salad with Rhubarb and Balsamic Vinegar from Tinned Tomatoes
• Polenta Quinoa Sticks with Rhubarb Sauce from Green Gourmet Giraffe
• Rhubarb Tea from A Nice Cuppa

If you have a rhubarb recipe you'd like to share, feel free to add a link in the comments!

Rhubarb freezes beautifully, so you will (hopefully) be able to enjoy it all year! I am jealous! Courtney

I'm so glad you posted this! Rhubarb has been so on my mind lately! I bought some last week intending to make a rhubarb tart but I've been procrastinating because I don't have a good recipe for vegan pastry. Can anyone help!?

Hi Cassie, obviously I like my own rhubarb tofu recipe but rhubarb on porridge is gorgeous (such a good contrast between the creamy porridge and tart rhubarb)

Monica, Trina at Your Vegan Mom recently mentioned she made a blueberry pie and linked to this Martha Stewart recipe. The pate brisee used in the recipe reminded me of Vegan Yum Yum's mini apple pies - which look delicious. Maybe one of those links will help? If you do make a rhubarb tart, let me know how you go about the crust. Just wish you could make one for me too, as it would be a perfect dessert for Canada Day (July 1)! Celine, wish I could send you over some as I know you'd do something really amazing with it! Courtney, there will be another round coming from the garden, and I just hope I won't be all rhubarbed out by then. Sophie, porridge and rhubarb is something I have never tried or would have thought to try! I am going to make that for us this weekend! Thanks for sharing.

You are lucky to have a bunch of rhubarb to play with - there are so many wonderful ways to cook with it. I tried a rhubarb chutney recently which was great and think it pairs so well with orange that your chutney sounds a great way to use some of it up. The rhubarb sauce I did with the polenta sticks is really an amazing blend of flavours and I woudl recommend that too. I have also seen a recipe for rhubarb pancakes recently that was very tempting.

I think I'm going to try the rhubarb tart with this recipe at Good Things Catered. It's one of the few vegan pastry recipes I've found that doesn't rely on Earth Balance "butter" (I don't really trust the ingredients in that stuff). I'll let you know how it goes!

Monica, I really look forward to hearing how that works out for you! Johanna, you're always full of wonderful ideas! The pancakes have me intrigued. I would love to check that out! Note about Links: This morning I noticed that my site's commenting software was stripping off HTML for links due to a setting I had not enabled. Argh. I apologize for that, Monica, especially after inviting links, as it appears you tried to include one to Good Things Catered? I've got the software setting fixed up now, and if you would be so kind to give it another try, I would really really appreciate that! Johanna and Sophie, or any others, if you have tried to put a link through, it also didn't make it. Again, I'm so sorry about that (and a little embarrassed!) and appreciate all of you taking the time to comment!

The pancakes idea is from an event called in the bag that a slice of cherry pie was running - it featured rhubarb in February 2008 and there were some some good ideas in the round up at http://asliceofcherrypie.blogs...round.html

Great ideas in that round-up, Johanna, and the pancakes sound delicious. I would love to play around with that idea. Thanks so much for sharing the link! Nico, thank you. Rhubarb Pecan Muffins sound beautiful.

Rhubarb is so gorgeous. You have to go ahead and try my potato salad with rhubarb and balsamic vinegar. It is so good! I love rhubarb in crumble, pie and on it's own too
