i almost fell out of my seat when i read julia’s post about rhubarb syrup on tend a couple of weeks back. we are a simple syrup loving family & enjoy experimenting with different, unique ingredients. i had walked past our rhubarb several times wishing for just a couple of hours to roll out a homemade crust, chop some rhubarb & bake a strawberry rhubarb pie. in the midst of buying a farm & moving, that just was not going to happen anytime soon. instead, i harvested a basket of rhubarb & made julia’s wonderful rhubarb syrup.
you can find her recipe here. i skipped out on the ginger (not a fan. weird, i know) & still loved the taste. it is slightly sweet & perfect with sparkling water or club soda. just a note: when you strain the rhubarb, it will look like mush. that is a good sign!
ahhh, the perfect beverage while packing boxes…
love,
