Marketman,

Here’s another rhubarb recipe for you.

Rich Rhubarb and Caramel Baked Custard

Ingredients:
2 cups cream
4 eggs
8 tbsp brown sugar
2 cups rhubarb, chopped
1 cup orange juice
ground nutmeg or powdered ginger

Simmer rhubarb in orange juice and half the sugar till soft. Add water only if sticking.
Place in an oven proof dish.
Beat the cream, eggs and remaining sugar with a fork or eggbeater for three minutes. Pour over the rhubarb. Dust on a little ground nutmeg or powdered ginger. Bake at 200C for half an hour or till firm. Serve hot, or eat the cold leftovers for a sinful breakfast.

Millet is right, MM. I was in Baguio a long time ago (20 years na yata yon) and a friend of mine [in Manila] asked me to buy her some rhubarb. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung ano yon that time. But I went to Baguio public market, asked around, and I was able to buy her a whole bunch. I can’t remember anymore how much it was, but i bet it was really cheap.

One of the reasons I hesitate to buy Nigella Lawson’s “How to Eat” is because there seeem to be an inordinate number of recipes using ingredients not locally available, especially rhubarb. I’ve never tried rhubarb, but after seeing Nigella use it several times on her TV show, I am very curious as to its taste. it certainly imparts a beautiful color!

Apple and rhubarb pie with crisp topping and a scoop of vanilla ice cream is an excellent dessert. I use rhubarb in my sinigang with lots of red and green tomatoes.
