My husband personally harvested 400 pounds yesterday (he is supplying rhubarb to Featherstone until their own plants mature). I helped him harvest 193 pounds on Monday so I understand the physical logistics of rhubarb. Spreading the harvest over two weeks makes a lot of sense to us! Hope you enjoy it when it finally comes.

I akm thinking you could easily use them all unless you have another plan for some of it. Just do 3T sugar per cup of rhubarb. Baking pan size - if you use all the rhubarb then I would use a 9 x 9 pan. You want it about 1 1/2 inches deep after it is baked. <br /><br />Brooke - You can still make the salsa - just downsize the proportions. With salsa you don't have to be real exact.Peggy Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344645980391717209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862123552092605656.post-38297672895976453032010-06-01T20:38:29.042-05:002010-06-01T20:38:29.042-05:00Awesome blog!

The radish-cilantro salsa sounds intriguing...but I didn't get enough radishes in my small (chica) box. Wonder if they'll be more next week? <br /><br />Also can't wait to make some rhubard crisp!! :)Brookenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862123552092605656.post-73895351049495715332010-06-01T20:29:42.798-05:002010-06-01T20:29:42.798-05:00Peggy--thanks so much for these recipes.

I'm asking b/c my Chica share came with 10 stalks of rhubarb, and I'm not sure if I'll need all of them for this recipe.<br /><br />Thanks!Meredithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862123552092605656.post-73442171172596511692010-06-01T17:37:38.066-05:002010-06-01T17:37:38.066-05:00Hi Manda -

I think if they are refrigerated (trim off the tops) and bagged up and a little humid they should keep for a few weeks.Peggy Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344645980391717209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862123552092605656.post-53036552531479827032010-05-31T21:13:11.702-05:002010-05-31T21:13:11.702-05:00Forgive this novice question.

I think my dad and brother would love this, but I don't see them for a few weeks.<br /><br />The asparagus sauce sounds wonderful. I can't wait to read more through the week and get my first box on Thursday!mandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890436941285877810noreply@blogger.com
