My grandma used to grow rhubarb in her backyard in Michigan. Along the back fence the beautiful leafy tops and scarlet stalks begged to be made into pies and jams.
I found this recipe in her recipe box, the index card in her handwriting had yellowed and tattered around the edges.
Must have been one she used regularly.
