From Our Recipe Box to Yours...

How about a new recipe to try and use up some of that rhubarb coming up in your yard? I personally love rhubarb, but I do know it is a bit of an acquired taste.  Here's a different recipe I ran across on Pinterest that sounded yummy! The honey in this one should help to temper a bit of the tartness of the rhubarb and really make it good.
