This was found in the Montreal Gazette a few summers ago. At that time I really wanted to give this a try, but I still haven't gotten around to it. Maybe this summer I will.

I have made this recipe so many times (usually double it) and love it! I reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup and use 1/4 cup lemon juice as I rarely have whole lemons on hand. Thank you for this tasty way to use rhubarb. :)

My husband who has never liked rhubarb is now trying to find a place in the backyard for a rhubarb plant. It is that good. This is going to become a staple in my family. I only used a 1/2 c. sugar and found it to be plenty sweet. Other than that, I followed the recipe as written.
