I have made a couple of rhubarb surprise pies so far this spring. Plan on doing a batch of jam, and a few dump cakes. Rhubarb is sure the taste of spring.

Michele, I love Rhubarb crisp! Down here in Florida, we can purchase it fresh sometimes in the Spring when it become available up north. Rhubarb crisp was one of our favorite family desserts to make when my girls were little. Using Rhubarb in jam sounds yummy too. I bet it makes a pretty pink jam.
