It's been a long time coming, but I finally managed to grow and store enough rhubarb to cook up a tasty treat for my mom, who has always loved stewed rhubarb or strawberry rhubarb pie.
I simmered the small harvest with some water and granulated sugar; and, served the tasty concoction to my mom over vanilla ice cream.
My new gardening friend, Marjorie, has offered me some of her rhubarb in the fall, to supplement our small planting; so, hopefully mom will be able to enjoy a rhubarb treat more often in the future.
Only time will tell, but this year's small harvest fills me with optimism.
