20 Rhubarb Recipes that are a Slice of Summer Heaven

Do you know what I love? Fresh vegetables! And the more unusual the better. Rhubarb seems to be everywhere but no one really knows what to do with it. It’s tart and people often describe it as a good replacement for cranberry. It’s native to China but is grown in Pennsylvania.

I could go on and on about how interesting this plant is! But let’s get to cooking with it. Here are 20, yes 20, recipes both sweet and savory that all use rhubarb as a main ingredient. In this round up you will find cocktails, appetizers, traditional and non-traditional desserts.
