Just finished off my first bottle of rhubarb shrub today. Did you know that Sumner WA in US is the self-proclaimed rhubarb pie capitol of the world? Rhubarb ripened sooner in Sumner than in Michigan, another big growing location, and the farmers in Sumner made a big push to get their stalks to the east coast by train before the Michigan farmers did.
Thanks for sharing this Kate! Fascinating history, much of which I didn’t know before. I saw that you’ve started in-person classes again. It’s on my bucket list 😊.
Well recipe number one Is going to be a huge hit - especially with ME. And number three sounds delish and a must-try…
You know it! Make a big batch for when we come to visit! 🥰
I love the sound of pickled rhubarb!
Me too! Still hasn’t finished its 48-hour ferment. I think it will be great with a cheese course.
I've never thought to use Rhubarb for savoury recipes! I'll think again!
If you try it, let me know what you think!

It was fascinating to me as well and I’m honored to be on your bucket list!
