My rhubarb is gone! In Texas it is an anuual and the heat has taken it out.

but lucky for me I froze some before it wilted and disappeared

Some I froze by just cutting inĀ one inch chunks and putting in quart freezer bags. This works according to the books. I guess there are no enzymes to destroy>

Here is how I froze the rest.

  1. Wash rhubarb after removing poisonous leaves.
  2. Cut in 1 inch chunks.
  3. Put 4 cups of rhubarb, 1/8 cup water and 2 TBSP of sugar in a small saucepan.
  4. Bring to a boil.
  5. Lower heatand simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Put in 1 qt freezer container without lid and cool in freezer
  7. Put on lid when cooled down a bit and freeze.
