I could eat rhubarb pie all day, but then my pants would not fit. What else do folks do with their rhubarb and does anyone have some great recipies for freezing or canning? Rhubarb grows so well around here, I now have 8 plants and hate to waste it.

Rhubarb is a natural for preserving since it is pretty much only eaten cooked anyways. While you can pack it in syrup, rather the old fashion way, I think you can just cut it, lay on a tray to freeze as quickly as possible, and pack for future use.
There are also many recipes for rhubarb chutneys out there. I have no particular favorite.
Please report back.

I preserve rhubarb in the form of a rhubarb-grapefruit marmalade. It's a great piquant addition to savory dishes, particularly duck.

Well, in case any one wonders about the freezing, it worked just fine. I made rhubarb ice cream sauce and served it at Thanksgiving and it was great. Would still love more ideas for rhubarb since spring is coming and I know I will have to deal with it again. Thanks for the suggestion of the marmelade. Any others would be appreciated. Obviously cook books have them, but I like to know what people actually like!
