Someone gave my Mother -in-law a Rhubarb plant some 40 years ago, which she planted and then ignored. I got it about 15 years ago and did much the same until B/W came up with a couple of great recipes. Far from the overrcooked tan slime my Mother used to serve as rhubarb when I was a kid, these are truly delicious and different, in my (never humble!) opinion.
EASY RHUBARB DESSERT
4 cups Rhubarb, coarsley chopped
1 3 oz okg Raspberry Gelatin
1/3 cup Sugar
1 18 oz pkg White, yellow or Orange cake mix. (The orange mix makes a delightfully unique flavor -ol' coot comment)
1 cup water
1/3 cup melted butter
Place rhubarb in greased 9x13 baking dish.
Sprinkle with gelatin, sugar, & cake mix.
Pour water gently and evenly over dry ingredients.
Drizzle with butter
Bake @ 360F for an hour.
Great with a scoop of ice cream
Makes about 16 servings.
