I like my sauce a bit tart.

I've decided to become a farmer. A rhubarb farmer. I just bought some rhubarb plants. And I've planted 'em in the sunniest place in my yard. I'll cultivate the stuff. I'm told I won't have much of a crop until next year. But I can already taste the rhubarb. I love to make rhubarb sauce. Normally, I go to the grocery store and buy rhubarb for $3.99 a pound. Then I chop it up. Put it in a big kettle. With water. Bring the whole concoction to a boil. Adding a little sugar. Not too much. I like my sauce a bit tart. --Jim Broede
