Got rhubarb? Here is a link to a good site for all things rhubarb.

Thx! I love rhubarb. Chicken smothered in rhubarb sounds like a "must-try"

it's under "rhubarb stuff" heading

 
Thanks Ang, you have inspired me to take advantage of my poor neglected rhubarb plant...

Rhubarb Butter Crunch on the menu for tonight!

 
Rhubarb Butter Crunch was simple and good . I made a low sugar version.

I wanted to cut down the sugar so I used 1/3 the amount of sugar, 1/3 Splenda and 1/3 Xylitol. I had read in a couple places that the best way to use artificial sweeteners is to combine different ones. I am not too sure that there is any best way to use Splenda, I could still taste that Splenda aftertaste in there but it wasn't enough to ruin it for me. Next time I'll try just sugar and Xylitol or perhaps just Xylitol.

Sounds good Mimi. I am picking some rhubarb tonight and might try the same recipe. I bake with>>

Splenda quite a bit and don't detect an aftertaste. funny. I do not like to bake with aspartame or sweet and lo, but splenda is no problem for me, especially if I use it half and half with sugar. I also have Olga's Danish rhubarb dessert printed out and plan to make it soon too, but I will take a shortcut and buy some piecrust and make it round in my springform pan. Since that one calls for canned cherry pie filling, I will use splenda for the extra sugar called for, using a bit less. The Rhubarb Fool recipe looks really yummy too. Refreshing on a hot summer day with some crispy butter cookies. There are so many good recipes on that site!

 
It's just one of those things, some people taste it and some don't

Maybe it's genetic like being able to roll your tongue. ;o)

 
I thought it odd too as I don't notice any aftertaste...myabe that's because I can't help thinking

about the price. I do mix it with sugar sometimes but haven't been brave enough to use it in place of sugar when the texture is important. I'll get there yet.

And which way should I roll my tongue? from the sides or the end?
