Planning a small gathering including finger food/ tea style menu. I have some fresh rhubarb. Any ideas? My usual is a square with shortbread crust, layer of rhubarb, then crumble, but looking for something different.

Rhubarb crumble and the crumble has to Mary Berry’s recipe which includes dry semolina. It makes it fabulously crunchy.
Adding English ripe strawberries to the rhubarb is a tasty variant too.
No need to pre-cook strawberries when you simmer the rhubarb pieces, just add it at the point when you are about to spoon crumble on the top.

I once had rhubarb and ginger mess at a restaurant. Crushed meringue, cream, cooked rhubarb and little bites of crystallised ginger. It was delicious. My taste buds are telling me to try little nibs of plain chocolate in it when I try making it.
I love the sound of the rhubarb and orange cake upthread. Yum!

Favourite rhubarb recipe is the one that doesn't contain rhubarb.

Those who have mentioned rhubarb fool - I was going to mention that.
Just stewed rhubarb mixed with double cream.
i use golden syrup instead of sugar to sweeten.

I have a recipe for Rhubarb cupcakes, which I make with Rhubarb I grow on my allotment.

Luckily, no-one else likes them......so I am forced to eat the lot every time.

Peeled and raw with a little bag of sugar.

Unhealthy but fun.

I'll come round and help you out with the rhubarb cupcakes BelindaB I wouldn't want you to overdo it grin
I love rhubarb as well, I much prefer sharp fruits to sweet ones, blackcurrants also high on my list.
