This week, on the Romance Writers Weekly blog hop, we're asked, "The weather is getting warmer! Share a favourite recipe that says "Spring" to you."
Ooh. That's a good one. But, I have to say that anything between Memorial Day and Labor Day counts as summer to me, so I'm going to go with a summer recipe.
My mother and grandmother used to make the best pies. My favorite was always rhubarb. I'm the only one now (other than my sister) who really cares for it, so I rarely make a whole pie for myself. I'm too lazy for that. But I buy rhubarb whenever I see it and generally just stew it and eat it on everything. Scones, biscuits, toast, yogurt, ice cream, cocktails, even by itself.
I also don't measure anything. But I think you could go with about one pound of rhubarb, a cup of sugar, some water (maybe half a cup) and possibly one or more of these other ingredients--a dash of salt, a quarter teaspoon of either almond or vanilla extract, a teaspoon of tapioca pearls, or the juice and zest of half a lemon.
All of that depends on how sweet or thick you want it.
Chop the rhubarb, place all the ingredients into a saucepan, simmer until thick--maybe half an hour? And that's it. Enjoy it hot or cold.
Now, hop on over to Brenda Margriet's page to find out what recipe says "Spring" to her. And don't forget to check out her book, Reserved For You.
