Made a metric fekkton worth of baked rhubarbs.
About a kilo of fresh rhubarbs (without leaves), about half a kilo (you can probably be a bit stingy with that though, was a bit too much), some mint leaves, some almond liqueur (a hip shot splash of it) - mix it all around and into a oven safe thing, put tin foil on top as a seal and then go nuts on around 200 degrees (celsius) and 30ish minutes until their soft but retain their shape.

Put/pour everything in a jar and eat it with icecream/cake

Remember NO LEAVES (the leaves arent good for you) and just get them soft and the sugar dissolved so check it every now and then - you can swap around ingredients, skip the booze and take like pickled ginger or something.

Tasty AF on its own too. With mint the whole place smells like a pool drink.

I can't be clear enough that the time is very vague. Take it out every now and then wave around and poke to see if they are soft but not just mush

@garpu that sounds delicious! Tomorrow im going out to pick elderflowers to cook elderflower errrr "lemonade". Just gotta find a patch away from large roads.
Should we tag our recipes with like #MastoCooking or something?

@ohyran Hehehehe. :) There was a gigantic blackberry entity on the way to the music building near UW-Seattle. (It's across from the Newman Center.) Really tasty berries, although I shudder to think of how many hard metals I ingested.

@ohyran Heavy metals, even.

@garpu yeah thats the annoying part living in a city, most of the edible plants you can pick is kinda ruined by default.

Might try your grandma's recipe today with some of the rest of the rhubarb. The pie crust bit is it a sweet pie crust or? Sugar, flour, butter?

@ohyran I don't think the crust is sweet...the filling is plenty sweet on it's own. I can check with a cousin in a bit.

@garpu no stress, ran out of eggs anyway so will have to wait with it for a few days.

@ohyran You're right they're no good; they contain quite a bit of cyanide for one ​

@ohyran OMG. I need to scour alleys here for wayward rhubarb. It's the sort of thing people plant, move, then the people who move in tear up. But it just keeps coming. I love rhubarb. My grandmother's got a rhubarb dream dessert that's amazing. And full of butter.
