Rhubarb Recipes
When harvesting garden rhubarb, choose tender, young shoots, discard the rhubarb leaves—which are toxic—and peel any large, tough stems as you would with celery. Commercially grown rhubarb doesn't need peeling; buy only firm, crisp stalks, and store them in the refrigerator. See the recipe for Shaker Rhubarb Pie » Christopher Hirsheimer

From old-fashioned pie to cobbler, crumbles, and jam, tangy rhubarb desserts are the essence of spring.
