Now if I just had some rhubarb. My mother used to make rhubarb dumplings, just like she made chicken and dumplings. She cooked and seasoned the rhubarb to her liking, then dropped in Biscuit dough by the spoonful. She did this with most fruits.

I made this recipe today. It was very, very good. Changes I made. I used frozen rhubarb and I drained off 1/2 of the juice. Next tine I will retain all the juice. I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup to sprinkle over the rhubarb. Just the right amount of tartness. I used the nutmeg; next I will add cinnamon instead.

Thanks for the recipe. I have tons of rhubarb. And I am always looking for new recipes.

Tart.  Tart.  Tart.     Even with lots of sugar, it's still sort of tart (tart like a cherry pie, in a way).

That being, we love it!  Even my 11 month old grandson, who had his first taste a few days ago, couldn't seem to get enough of the rhubarb pie I made.
