Weird Candy Trivia. Growing Candy. Updated 1-1-2009
I never knew there were so many rhubarb pie, cake and jelly recipes. I do remember my mother had a patch of rhubarb growing on the farm. She planted her rhubarb right beside the strawberry patch. You would have thought the rhubarb was more precious then her roses. I never understood why. Now I do. Rhubarb is a treat to use. I love it.
All of the collected recipes I add here are taken from handwritten recipe boxes or journals.
I am, single-handedly, trying to salvage old recipes from being lost to us forever. You gotta love a collector. (You believe all that?)
Seriously,
Our mother's and grandmother's spent a great part of their lives in the kitchen preparing food for the family. Those days and times are lost to us forever. I don't want to loose their recipes too. It is their history, a part of who we were then. A part of why we are what we are today.
Their recipes are our history.
