Rhubarb is the quintessential taste of summer, and here in Northwestern Ontario, the first harvest from the garden. With rhubarb plants taking over back yards and laneways, it usually isn't difficult to find a good supply. My own rhubarb plant is still getting established, so I raided the neighbour's garden and​

Rhubarb slush

Picture
8 cups rhubarb, coarsely chopped
8 cups water
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 small package strawberry jelly powder

Bring rhubarb, water and lemon juice to a boil and simmer 15-20 minutes until rhubarb is mushy. Strain through  cheesecloth or jelly bag. Discard/compost pulp (or use it in yogurt). Return juice to heat and add sugar and jelly powder. Cool to room temperature. Transfer juice to a large container (an ice cream pail works well) or roasting pan and place in the freezer. Stir frequently while it's freezing to keep the mixture slushy. Store in freezer.

To serve:
Use an ice cream scoop and fill a glass about 3/4 full of slush. Top with 1 1/2 oz vodka (optional), then fill the glass with soda water or ginger ale. Slip in a straw and sip!

    I live on the north shore of Lake Superior where I write books for kids and adults. I express love and care through food. Since I'm unable to feed friends and family during this period of COVID-19 isolation, I thought I would share some of my favourite recipes instead.  Hope you enjoy!
