It does appear crinkled and corrugated and then develops into a fine looking plant with wonderful leavesDSC_0048 and stems which range in color from DSC_0042 green to bright red.  Rhubarb.  Tart does not quite express the tongue puckering which occurs when biting a fresh stem but, in a pie, cobbler, tart or syrup, rhubarb is unique and tasty. DSC_0002 This weekend I tried the Rhubarb mojito.  Rhubarb juice is  made by stewing the rhubarb with sugar and water and then straining the pulp.  The juice is mixed with a bit of rum, a bit of club soda and a sprig of mint.  I will try them again and, if you have an objection to rum, just use the club soda for a refreshing and distinctively flavored drink. DSC_0004 Delicious, distinctive, refreshing.   Check out the recipe over at David’s blog  and enjoy his superb photos in addition to his juice recipe.
