Oooohhh! This is over the top and down the other side refreshingly delicious! I wasn't sure I'd like this but I loved it! I didn't taste and add additional sugar since I'm not a big sugar person. I will be sharing this with my friends who grow rhubarb. My son tried it and asked if it also came in blueberry! I told him that now we know anything's possible! Lol! Made for My 3 Chefs event, for my Rhubarb Patch theme.
