"During the 15 years of living here in Iceland, I've accumulated recipes that prepare me for the annual late summer harvest of rhubarb that I'm lucky enough to share w/my best friend Magga who has 2 gardens. Most of my rhubarb recipes have come from US recipe websites, but this is the 1st recipe to come from an Australian source, i.e. deliciousdotcomdotau. (20 min was allowed by me to prep the rhubarb & ingredients, but time shown does not include the 2 hr drain time for the rhubarb after it is cooked) ENJOY!"
