Hi all
today my farther send me home home with cooking apples, plums, rhubarb. So now is the time for panick, how do I store, what do I cook, what shall I do.
I could go full force with jam or puddings but is there any fresh ideas out there to stop me hitting the baking like a sweettoothed cake aholic??
any and all ideas welcomed please. thanks

Not pulling your leg I have 2 huge piles of stems ready to be cooked/eaten! It's at it's best for us now!
There may be good sticks on the plants, but it's good practise to stop pulling rhubarb by mid-June to allow the plants to build up for the following year.
