Rhubarb, orange and ginger




On Christmas Day I found myself the grateful recipient of a large bunch of rhubarb from my sister’s garden. I am not sure what the variety is, but someone suggested from the photo that it was “ruby red” and it may well be so. I decided I would cook it in orange juice and add some ginger for an extra bit of flavour. Yum!

And the blogpost? I have been slack about blogging in recent times in part due to Google not keeping its Blogger app up to date as I had found this an easy way to work with my photos and text in one place on my phone. But for years I had participated in #blog12dayschristmas and when I saw posts this week from someone with whom I had participated in the past,  I thought of blogging again. As a result, I have found a third party app for Blogger and this is my first  experiment with it.
