Here's something you can do with the Rhubarb for the adults:

Rhubarb Martini

1.5 ounces vodka
3 ounces sweetened rhubarb reduction mush
Shake it, strain it, drink it

Rhubarb Reduction Mush
8 cups chopped rhubarb
4 cups water
2.5 cups sugar

Cook the rhubarb and water till it turns to a tart mush. Stir in sugar. Let cool.

(Tip: The lady who made this for me did not leave any rhubarb pulp in the martini. She strained it out before she added it to the martini glass)

What my friend has read about this drink, is that you can muddle some of the cooked rhubarb at the bottom of the martini shaker just before you mix up the whole drink. when you pour the drink into your glasses just put a strainer over the drink to catch any large bits of rhubarb and you will add a really pretty colour to the drink.

Dear Andrea, I love rhubarb and have a number of good recipes, one has beaten egg white in it and becomes a lovely mousse. Lemon rind added for flavour. You also cook it with a little water and sugar, then just serve it by itself for dessert. Strawberry and rhubarb pie is a B.C. favourite. Just let me know if you want some recipes.
