Instead of strawberries, try adding raspberries, and a little bit of jalapeno to the rhubarb for a pie filling.

Also, rhubarb-raspberry jam is excellent.

Subbing some brown sugar for part of the white—or using honey— really kicks up plain stewed rhubarb, which is great when used like cranberry sauce, for beef or pork rather than poultry.

Good luck with the bug huinting.

Well, I haven't figured out what hubby thinks I'm going to do with it. I don't eat anything with sugar added, and I don't use artificial sweetners.

I don't eat pie crusts or any other starchy stuff. I only use a bit of honey if I have a sore throat. I am finally beginning to feel better now that I've severely restricted carbs like the endocrinologist told me to.

Enough better that it's just not worth it to eat sweets and starches. It take 2-3 weeks to recover. It'll have to be some sort of stewed or stir fried dish - I'll have to do a web search and see what I find.
