What an unexpected delight! I was glad to find some frozen cut rhubarb at my grocery store, because the season for it is all-too-brief here. I made this exactly as posted, using packed brown sugar and adding the pecans. I did not bother with the glaze. The bread stands on its own, and is moist and flavorful. I definitely will make this again! Thanks for sharing. -
This was a fun bread. I didn't really know how much to chop the rhubarb, so I sliced it in thin slices. There a lot of little chunks of rhubarb throughout the bread. It is very soft and sweet. Made for ZWT8.
