Hi Ruth, my grandmother was from New Brunswick and she became a Mainer, so I inherited her love of rhubarb! This is not a recipe, but I stew cubes of rhubarb with a bit of sugar, a dash of water and a hefty grating of fresh ginger. It's great with plain yogurt or on a simple cake or ice cream. I'm craving it right now!
But I use a raspberry vanilla ice cream recipe from The Perfect scoop to make the ice cream base and just swap the raspberry puree for the Rhubarb puree. I give it away as a gift sometimes and it always gets rave reviews.
Thank you for sharing -- that looks delicious! I agree, rhubarb in ice cream is amazing. One of my favorites is rhubarb jam swirled through buttermilk ice cream!

I think stewed or lightly cooked compote is probably my favorite way to enjoy it too! So versatile and really brightens up whatever you're eating.
Every year I make Rhubarb crumble ice cream using this recipe for cooking the Rhubarb and making the crumble (which barely makes it into the ice cream, it's so yummy! I guess its kind of like shortbread) :https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/food/recipes/a562416/rhubarb-crumble-ice-cream/

Yes to anything rhubarb! I have three plants almost ready for first harvest. 🤓
Hooray! Mine are still several weeks out 😅
