Freezing Rhubarb
5:54 PM
The rhubarb plant was taking over. I decided it was time to fill the freezer of rhubarb for pies and muffins this winter. (I really must do a better job of taking before and after shots). Before I pulled some rhubarb I could not get to the compost bin. And that is how much is left of the plant!
I've always done 3 cups per bag because it has seemed like a good starting point for recipes. When the bags of rhubarb are defrosted, there is a lot of moisture. I usually snip a hole in the corner of the bag and then squeeze out the excess liquid. That method has always worked for me. I'm not sure if there is a better or easier way. If anyone has some experience with that I'm open to suggestions.

I am so glad to know this. I have been wanting to try rhubarb because everyone says it is so good and I love freezing fruits and veggies to have during the Winter months!
ReplyDeleteThis is great Jen! I have never grown or eaten rhubarb! I'm inspired.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with the Independence Days Challenge. Hope to see you back tomorrow!
Awesome - it'll be so great to be eating homegrown rhubarb when there's snow outside! And it sounds like I need to get myself one of those sealers! How cool! Do you use it a ton?
ReplyDeleteMy parents got me the Seal-a-Meal vacu sealer for Christmas a few years back. While I don't use it a ton (mostly because I do a lot of canning in the summer) I do use it enough to justify the space it takes up in a prominent cabinet.
DeleteI love your comments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
