Jolene of Jolene's Recipe Journal is hosting this annual event. Let's take a look at all the deliciousness being shared today......
I served this ice cream on top of a Strawberry Rhubarb Dump Cake that I had made. It was perfect!!!!
I am so happy that I found this recipe. My rhubarb was not quite so prolific as in year's past but I still had enough to satisfy our cravings and to put some up in the freezer to make during the cold season when we need a bit of sunshine in our lives.
Here are some of my favorite rhubarb recipes for you to enjoy. Rhubarb Thumprints, Rhubarb and Berry Cobbler, Strawberry Rhubarb Bundt Cake, and Rhubarb Crumble.
But rhubarb is not just for dessert you can also make a Gingered Rhubarb Sauce for Shrimp Tacos, Strawberry Rhubarb BBQ Sauce, Fruit Salad with a Rhubarb Mint Syrup and Strawberry Rhubarb Jam.
I hope you are enjoying your summer and that you find a great ice cream recipe today to help you beat the heat.......

Ingredients
- 4 c. chopped rhubarb
- 1/4 c. sugar
- juice of 1/2 lemon

- Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then place into a food processor and puree until smooth. Chill several hours or overnight.
- Whisk the egg, egg yolks, 2/3 c. sugar and 1 cup of the cream in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
- Heat the remaining 2 cups of cream in a sauce pan until simmering. Drizzle about a 1/2 cup of the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, to temper it.

- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl and stir in the vanilla. Chill for at least eight hours or overnight.

Oh, how I miss my rhubarb plant! Although, if it were still alive, it would have been flooded last week. We've been having a bit of bad luck with water around here lately!
