One of the things that I look so forward to when spring finally arrives is the rhubarb that my mother grows in one of her (many) gardens. There is just something about its tart flavor that I can’t seem to get enough of. 

However, I know that it’s not around very long (usually from mid-spring to early summer), so I make sure to enjoy it while I can. This year, I decided I wanted to gather up some easy, sweet-tart rhubarb recipes that take this tangy vegetable to a whole new level.

Plus, as the season starts to wind down, you may be wondering what to do with your bounty of fresh rhubarb. Whether you’ve grown it yourself, or picked it up at your local grocery store, this seasonal vegetable combined with one of our favorite summer fruits (strawberries) makes the most sweet, delicious, and tangy desserts.

And, with summer just arriving these tasty rhubarb recipes are perfect to bring to picnics, potlucks, family gatherings, and summer BBQs. It’s not only the best way to use up your overabundance of rhubarb but also impress your guests with these deliciously sweet-tart recipes. Enjoy!
