Anut Annies Rhubarb Jello Recipes

RHUBARB GELATIN WITH CREAM

Steps:

• Trim about 2 inches from each end of the rhubarb and discard. Roughly chop the stalks and add to a small stock pot with 2 cups of the sugar and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar, and boil until the rhubarb mostly falls apart, about 3 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove from the heat and let steep, covered, for 5 minutes.
• Place 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Strain the hot rhubarb mixture through a fine mesh strainer right into the gelatin, whisking gently. Press on the solids in the strainer to get as much liquid as possible from the rhubarb. Discard the solids.
• If there is a lot of foam and you prefer a clear surface, skim it with a spoon and discard it. Pour the mixture into eight 4-ounce jelly jars. Chill until set, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• When ready to serve, whip the cream, vanilla extract and the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar to very soft peaks and dollop it over the gelatin.

GREAT GREAT AUNT JESSIE'S 1940'S RHUBARB PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Wash and dry rhubarb (do not peel unless the skin is very tough).
• Cut the stalks into about 1/2 inch pieces.
• Beat the eggs and add sugar and flour which have been mixed together.
• Beat until the three are as one.
• Mix the egg-sugar mixture with the rhubarb and fill the pie shell.
• I like a high, rounding pie even if I do have to put a pan under it in the oven.
• Believe it or not, this is such a good and well-behaved pie that it didn't drip, but I betcha it would have if that pan hadn't been under it.
• To get the shiny countenance on this pie, brush the top with an egg or egg yolk diluted in water or milk when the pie is about halfway through its cooking period.
• If it doesn't get enough make-up with the first painting, brush it again just before it comes out of the oven.
• Where there is pie, there should be cheese.
• We chose this time a soft cheese molded into small balls- one for each serving.
• Then you'd better make a few more since there are always delightful"pigs" who want two scoops of ice cream and two hunks of cheese with pie.
• And it's only right, because these characters always look for the largest piece of pie to go with double the trimmings.
