Rhubarb is currently in abundance and in season. I've been looking forward to coming up with some new creations in the kitchen. It’s so easy to grow and I’m grateful to have it readily available.

If you haven't grown rhubarb you can also find it in a lot of grocery stores right now. Rhubarb makes fantastic jams paired with fruit, muffins, crumbles and many more thi...ngs.
