Remember when I mentioned that I impulse bought rhubarb? Well I had one thing in mind…
Stewed rhubarb and apple.
Although wanting to avoid the too-common overuse of sugar that generally features in the dish (presumably to cut through the tartness of the rhubarb), I stewed the rhubarb and apple slices in just a sprinkle of stevia and water.
And, after 15 minutes or so, the pot went from this…
To this!
Vibrant rhubarb and apple.
Still tart, and with just a hint of sweetness from the apple and stevia.
A lovely wintery dessert, that kept my sweet tooth happy for days.
Particularly when paired with a coop of vanilla ice-cream. Although next time, I am going to use it in a crumble!
What about you? Are you a fan of rhubarb?



love the colour of the stewed fruit - soon Miss C will be enjoying it with you
ReplyDeleteooh, I've actually never had this but would love to try it!
ReplyDeleteCrumble would be perfect! I've tried stevia in coffee and is just ick but find it okay to use a little bit in cooking.
ReplyDeleteLove love love rhubarb!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the crumble with the vanilla ice cream! Delicious! :D
ReplyDeleteI grew up with apple and rhubarb crumble for dessert. Yay!
ReplyDeleteYum, apple and rhubarb crumble is a favourite :)
ReplyDeleteI have never had apple and rhubarb puree / fruit plain - but I like the idea! I tend to like the filling of pies better than the crust, so it appeals :)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love it indeed! I have a dozen plants growing in the garden so I can enjoy it as often as possible :)
ReplyDeleteLove Rhubarb!
ReplyDeleteI just got back from a trip to NZ, I had a sirloin with Rhubarb and Beetroot sauce. I would never have thought of it but it was absolutely delicious!
Oooh looks good! My dad grow rhubarb so we are always looking for ways to eat it other than pies, jams, and crumbles. :)
