Stewed Rhubarb with Ginger and Raw Honey
by Anita Deeley at BeverlyBees.com
I cooked a smaller version of this recipe last week and it was absolutely delicious. If you have lots of Rhubarb hanging around, this is a great one to try! The ginger gives the sour rhubarb a slight kick and the honey sweetens it up. Since the raw honey is not cooked it retains all of it’s wonderful healthy healing properties. What could be better than that? Serve in a cocktail glass for added elegance.
A printable recipe is included below. After I washed and cut the rhubarb and added the grated ginger, this is what I had – a bowl full of yumminess.
I love both rhubarb and ginger and could have eaten this raw and been happy. A helpful tip about ginger, buy it when it’s in season and freeze it in your freezer. It freezes beautifully, retains it’s flavor and is much easier to peel and grate.
After about an hour of cooking. I let the stewed rhubarb cool before adding the raw honey to taste. This is what I wound up with – a yummy rhubarb, ginger, raw honey concoction.
The raw honey can be tasted in this dish and my kids and husband loved it. Everyone had a great time eating out of martini glasses! If you are a rhubarb, ginger, honey fiend like me you will love this recipe. Try it and let me know how you like it!
