Hi CH's. Wonder if any of you have tried the using the leaves from your
Rhubarb plants. Very effective and of course very environmentally friendly
too. Just save the leaves when pulling the Rhubarb and boil them thoroughly
in an old pan. Let cool and then use the liquid. Use lavishly it can only do
good and does not smell.
Boil the Rhubarb in a large container whilst you are at it. Don't add much
liquid. Then it will cool to a nice thickish consistency. Add Brown Sugar to
taste. Then make it up into as many small pies, with lids, that you can get
out of it. Remember the Xmas standbye 'Mince Pies' with their little pastry
lids? Give them a good painting with beaten egg and pop them into the oven
220C for about half an hour. Keep your eyes on them so they don't overcook.
Let them cool slightly. Lift the lids with a knife and pop a teaspoon full
of Habenero Sauce under each one. Let the lig go back and allow to cool
fully. So very very precious to eat. Eat them often with scalding hot Green
Tea. Y'all keep the HEAT.
