  • Seeing so many bad reviews I felt compelled to do a comprehensive review. FIRST thing to know: This recipe makes A LOT (almost 2 quarts) I would consider making half becuase it's not likely going to freeze well and who needs this much? SECOND: I would use less ginger, maybe even half as much as it completley overpowers the rhubarb THIRD: Don't judge it when it you've added the strawberries,(which is almost the last step) the flavours didn't marry until it was refrigerated. Chilling it is the last step- The next morning it was quite good on crostini and even the colour improved overnight. It coud easily be served with waffles or ice cream (the full recipe makes a lot!). FOURTH: To answer one reviewer-why bother? If made a day in advance it could really make an impressive addition to a breakfast, it will be clear it is something you made and not taken from a jar. I say yes to this recipe!
