Rhubarb Bread

The rhubarb patch is wilting down as it does this time of year. In my corner, rhubarb is best from May through June, but just in case there's still rhubarb in your corner, I'm sharing my rhubarb bread recipe. This delicious recipe would also work with blueberries and since they are nearly ready here, I'll be baking this bread again soon. I can't wait!




Rhubarb Bread

Ingredients:

* 1½ cups brown sugar
* 2/3 cups cooking oil
* 2 eggs beaten
* 1 cup buttermilk (or sour regular milk with a TBS of vinegar)
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 3 tsp vanilla
* 1 tsp salt
* 2 ½ cups flour
* 1 ½ cups thinly sliced rhubarb
* ½ cup chopped nuts
* 1 TBS melted butter
* 1/3 cup sugar

Method:

Combine brown sugar, oil, and eggs
Combine buttermilk, soda, and vanilla in a separate bowl
Add mixtures together with flour and salt
Fold in rhubarb and nuts
Pour into two greased loaf pans
Drizzle melted butter over the top
Sprinkle with the 1/3 cup white sugar
Bake at 325° for 45 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean (be sure that the middle is firm)


If you try this, I promise that you'll love it!

We are off for a day trip to the ocean. Gotta love being between the mountains and the sea as I know so many of us lucky ones are.

My love asked me this morning where I was when we were young enough to have made different choices. Silly boy! THIS is OUR time.

Have a fantastic Thursday! (I'll be catching up with everyone later!)

  4. A day at the ocean? Oh how wonderful. You are very lucky to be in-between the ocean and the mountains. Unfortunately a day at the ocean means at least a two-day drive for me. So have a wonderful time and make a toast.

  12. hardly saw any at all this year at the grocery store...and they were selling it at gold brick prices for some reason. I better plant a stalk of my own...

    I resorted to buying frozen... and haven't tried it yet..but wanted to stew some to add to my apple cobbler .. made one at my sister's this summer and it was sooooooo good with fresh rhubarb in it. Oh,...my mouth is watering just writing about it... must stew up a bit today and just check what it tastes like on its own...

    tx for the recipe...

  13. I'm going to try this one with blueberries that I have already in my fridge. Yummmm!

    Hey, has anybody asked you about what your kids think about your new love? Since he's been around for awhile, they are probably ecstatic, too. I'll bet he fits right into your whole family. I'll bet he has for a long time. Just took you awhile to make it permanent, I guess! Smiles! Vickie

  14. I am so jealous of everyone who has rhubarb and all those delightful recipes! Now we have rhubarb bread! Heavenly!! Alas, it's too hot to grow it and to expensive to buy it here, so I just have to live vicariously through you all! That's it...I'm movin' east so I can have RHUBARB!!!!

  20. OH Vee! That bread looks so yummy! I will try it for sure! I must tell you how happy I am that you found "your man"! How wonderful! Your story, about when you realized that he was the man for you, was so sweet and romantic! I love "how much" he loves you! Joy-bells are ringing in your heart, and that is a blessed thing!!
    Yay for you!
