Rhubarb Wednesday

A lovely friend with an allotment gave me some rhubarb on Monday; huge fat sticks of it. We have a tiny clump in the garden; but it never does very well. We are usually lucky to get one small crumble.

My daughter had a friend for tea; so I thought I would make something with the rhubarb; but crumble didn't seem the right choice on such a hot day.

I did a quick "google" search of rhubarb and almond cakes; and then remembered a lovely plum muffin recipe I have.

The plum muffin recipe has some ground almonds in; so seemed ripe for adapting.

I love the pungent smell of freshly chopped rhubarb. (My daughter and her friend were not so keen!) I stewed it and then chucked it into the muffin mix.

It has made a lovely moist muffin with a pungent rhubarby kick!

The great thing is that I now have a huge box of stewed rhubarb in the freezer for a crumble on a wet day; or a fool on a foolish day!
