| We can as much Stewed Rhubarb sauce as we can get each sping. Also can rhubarb syrup, Strawberry-Rhubarb jam and jars of rhubarb pie filling. It also freezes well chopped and then can be used later for most anything. Dave |

| Dave I would love your rhubarb pie filling recipe if you don't mind sharing it. I usually make a rhubarb sauce that I freeze but pie filling that I could can sounds really good. |

| Just a point I noticed in digdirt's recipe. It said to use rhubarb from a spring or late fall crop. That advice is very much climate dependent and appears to be aimed at places where rhubarb goes dormant in the summer. In more temperate climates where rhubarb grows all summer the late fall stems can be very stringy and tough. So if that's your climate don't use late rhubarb. |

| Good point floral! Rhubarb Pie Filling - For each quart: 3 1/2 cups rhubarb, diced, blanched and drained Blanch rhubarb in boiling water for 1 minute and drain. Combine sugar, Clear Jel, and water and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens, stir in lemon juice and boil 1 minute, Stir well to avoid scorching. Mix in rhubarb and fill the hot jar. Leave 1" headspace. Process in BWB canner for 30 minutes adjusting for altitude. *** We don't like Clear Jel so we don't use it and can without it. We then use our preferred thickener - cornstarch - after opening the jars to make the pies. If you use it I would suggest cutting the recommended amount it in half unless you like really stiff pie filling. Dave |
