Any Home Bakers Here?

I haven't baked anything in a while. DH will be working tomorrow and it's supposed to rain, so maybe tomorrow will be a good day to bake some GF bread.

While noodling around, I found a recipe for Rhubarb/Orange Jam. I might have to try that if we get some good sized rhubarb stalks. I have one big plant (split from a neighbor) and 2 tiny ones (purchased crowns).

What else can I do with rhubarb that doesn't require strawberries, since I have 7strawberry plants left, out of the 50 I once had. DH says he doesn't like rhubarb, but maybe I can convert him.

I'm trying to find more things I can make out of the stuff I'm growing. And I'm try to grow more perennials like asparagus, onions (Egyptian Walking Onions), rhubarb, tree fruits (if they actually bear).

Rhubarb tastes best with strawberries!

Rhubarb pie, rhubarb crisp rhubarb wine, etc. I've been told it mixes well with apples.

When I make a rhubarb pie I always make rhubarb sauce which is very close to apple sauce.

On Saturday I made 6 batches of clotted cream and lemon curd, as well as 110 scones for an event. I may make a cheese cake tomorrow and top it with some leftover curd...

How do you make clotted cream?

I’m going to bake something sweet, I have enough eggs and sterilize the egg shells by tossing them in the oven after baking something, I already cooked lentil soup for lunch, was planing on baking corn bread tomorrow

I know... but my strawberries aren't doing well. Sigh. I have 7 plants total left in two beds.

I did see flower buds on those plants yesterday. So I might get a few berries.

Parallel universe thought... those 7 plants are surviving what did the others in! They will send out runners and eventually fill in those two beds...

Someone gave me Turkey eggs. Will try making cookies with some of them.
Never liked Duck eggs....Turkey?????

 

[Sally PB]

I don't care for the taste of duck eggs, but don't know if I could tell the difference in baked goods. I know some bakers LOVE using duck eggs for baking.
