What is Rhubarb
Rhubarb is a perennial plant that grows in stalks. It likes partial shade and can grow like a weed! It is a plant that doesn’t need much attention to flourish.
Rhubarb is considered a fruit, but unlike most fruit, it is not sweet. As a matter of fact, it’s more like a lemon. If you take a bite of a rhubarb stalk, you will find a very tart flavor hitting your tongue.
How to preserve rhubarb
There are several ways to preserve rhubarb. However, the most common way is to freeze or can it. When freezing rhubarb, it does not need anything except to be harvested, cleaned, diced, and frozen! It’s that simple!
Many people like to preserve rhubarb by canning it into a sauce, similar to this Sugar-Free Rhubarb Sauce. Another way to preserve rhubarb is to make a homemade rhubarb jam.
The types of recipes to make with rhubarb

While savory and sweet recipes are made with rhubarb, it most always is a sweetened rhubarb that is added to the recipe.
