My beloved rhubarb 💛 This amazing vegetable can be cooked and magically turn into a very simple dessert. I love this Roasted Rhubarb Jam recipe by Jennie – easy to follow, and extremely tweakable!

The type of rhubarb we get in Guate is mostly green with small pink streaks – but the flavor is pretty much the same. I found Rhubarb at Super Verduras! I stopped by to get some fresh vanilla, and found this as well. You can always count on them to have the best produce around!

For the recipe, I did half sugar, half raw sugar (aka panela), as well as adding nutmeg and a pinch of salt to have the flavors blend in beautifully. To serve, you can do it with rice cakes or toasted bread. I had some great rye bread around, so it pretty much was my breakfast today along a bit of smooth ricotta. Delicious!
