I'm just about to get an apple and rhubarb on the go, and I'll probably try one with banana - they add body, but these are experimental so I have no idea what the outcome will be.
Maybe strawberry? (I'm gonna try that one too )Let's party

Dunno - I haven't started it yet, but I was thinking of somewhere around 5-6lb ish, but I might add more if I think it needs it.
PS. Yes, and ginger works beautifully, especially if you add zest of 1 and juice of 2 oranges.Last edited by Mamgiowl; 09-09-2008, 01:43 PM.Let's party

Rhubarb is nasty and doesn't go well with anything.
If you must pair it with something, me Mutter makes a killer strawberry and rhubarb cobbler.

That's clinched it then - strawberry and rhubarb it is.
And I disagree with your first statement Hippie. A light rhubarb wine goes beuatifully with a warm, sunny evening (we used to get them in summers long ago) in the gardenLet's party

Right then, why don't you squeeze the rhubarb after it's been frozen?
I've 8lbs in the freezer waiting for time to do it..
I like the sound of the rhubarb and ginger.

When I make Rhubarb wine, I cut the rhubarb up freeze it. Then I put the frozen rhubarb into a bucket pour on sugar and leave four 24 hrs. I then pour on boil water strain into D/J test S.G And add more sugar if need.Getting better with age just like wine

I've tasted a few excellent rhubarb wines, however, my first attempt at making it turned out only average. I added a lot of water and grape concentrate to bring the acid down, and diluted the flavor too much in the process.
I've seen a few recipes that mention adding chalk to lower the acid. Has anyone tried that?
I have 12 lbs sitting in the freezer that I should do something with soon. I'd rather make wine than cobbler.Steve
