Rhubarb's season has arrived, and the sour sweet fruity rhubarb stalks taste like a tonic made by elves to welcome Spring. I welcome the Season with Rhubarb Cobbler. The recipe is easy so make, and it looks as delicious as it taste. Make it now and make it often since rhubarb's season ends in June.
Rhubarb is busting out all over for those of us fortunate enough to grow or access a neighbors rhubarb plant.
How do you like to cook rhubarb? First rhubarb requires cooking for most of us since it’s a sour tasting vegetable (yes) although with a fruity flavor when cooked with a small amount of sugar or best of all, honey.
I like rhubarb in a sauce, in a crisp, and, best-of-all, I make a Rhubarb Cobbler. A cobbler frames the delicious saucy sweet and sour rhubarb with a crisp yet soft biscuit.
Make this recipe with ease, serve it warm or chilled, and for breakfast, mid-day snack or after dinner dessert. Rhubarb Season peaks in May so now is the time to enjoy Rhubarb & Honey Cobbler!
