Made with rhubarb just pulled from the yard for it. It's really lovely. Love the ginger and orange juice additions. We'll have this for dessert tonight with ice cream but I *had* to do a taste test and it's winner. It's juicy without being watery and a perfect sweet/tart mix. I sweetened with Splenda.
