    Logan I do the same but sometimes add a sprinkle of cinnamon, or nutmeg, one time I even add cloves, always delicious.

    I love rhubarb, tried to grow it at home and it died of a honey fungus infection from a nearby tree that had it. Got some on my allotment but as I moved its location, its a bit of a baby this year.

    I strain the juice off and give it to hubby he mixes it with orange & lime juice, I like rhubarb crumble best.

    I often prepare mini crumbles in ramekin dishes and freeze those uncooked. Great for a quick dessert when you fancy a pudding. I tend to forget to label mine so it is often a surprise...Rhubarb? Gooseberry? Apple? All great!

    I do make the odd apple pie and portion it up then put it in the freezer, but haven't got much room.
