Bill's Chocolate Rhubarb Homemade Ice Cream
Craig Hovland
Ingredients:
Sauce:
4 quarts of cut rhubarb 1-2 inch pieces
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup of water
Ice Cream:
1 cup of rhubarb sauce
One pint of heavy whipping cream
½ cup white sugar
¾ cup of Essential (Cub) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Ice Cream Maker:
Ice
Salt
Water
Tools:
Hammer
12-18" 2x4
3 quart size plastic bags
1) Using a large sauce pan (4 quart pan) fill the pan with fresh cleaned garden rhubarb cut into 1-2 inch rhubarb pieces to make into sauce. You will need 1 cup of sauce for the ice cream. Using the filled 4 quart sauce pan will make approximately 3 cups of rhubarb sauce.
2) Add 1/3 of a cup of water to start making the cut rhubarb pieces into sauce. Boil it down until it is all rhubarb sauce and all the cut pieces of rhubarb are dissolved.
3) Add 1 cup of white sugar to the taste you want--which is going to vary by the rhubarb used and how you like it.
4) Next add one teaspoon of vanilla to the sauce.
5) Drain the rhubarb sauce so all the liquid is removed. The last time I did this I ended up with 3 cups of drained rhubarb sauce. You need one cup for the ice cream so the recipe can be adjusted according. I just keep the extra sauce for more ice cream or some other rhubarb dish to share.
6) Prepare ¾ cup of Essential (Cub) semi-sweet chocolate chips by placing the chocolate chips in 3 plastic quart size plastic bags. Go to the workshop and get a hammer and a 12-18" 2x4 and hammer the heck out of the chocolate chips to make them into small pieces. You will then need to break some of them apart because they will be too large. Set aside.
7) Mix the rhubarb sauce and one pint of heavy whipping cream along with ½ cup of sugar in a bowl before putting in into the ice cream maker. Fix the ice cream maker so it is ready to go with the ice, salt and water. Next put the smashed chocolate chips into the container and turn on the ice cream maker. When the ice cream is firmed up—stop the ice cream maker and store in a container in the freezer. Makes approximately one quart. Enjoy!
Why is the ice cream named Bill's? I had a college roommate who loved ice cream. While he was on hospice he would suggest various flavors of homemade ice cream to make. Unusual flavors, muskmelon, watermelon, etc. and we would go out on the internet and see if we could find a recipe. One night he suggested rhubarb ice cream. The chocolate was an addition but he would have loved it. Bill is no longer with us but the ice cream lives on.

Recipes from the 2016 Tasting Contest
1st Place 2016 Contest Winner!
A Rhubarb Jerk
Mary Bell
3 pounds rhubarb, to make 6 cups rhubarb puree
3 pounds ground meat
3 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup dried minced onions
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
3 teaspoons allspice
1 cup craisins, chopped fine
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon black pepper
To prepare the rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, wash, put in a pot, pour enough boiling water to cover and put a lid on the pot. Let it sit until the color changes and the rhubarb is soft to the touch. This blanching does two things; first it removes some of the acid so it will require less sweetener and second it will be easier to puree. Drain rhubarb and puree in a blender. Put 4 cups on a lightly oiled leather sheet and dry until it can be crumbled or ground into flakes. This may take several hours. When the rhubarb sauce is dry either crush by hand or give it a twirl in a blender.
Put meat and salt into a bowl and use a potato masher to force the salt into the meat. Combine onions with remaining 2 cups of rhubarb puree, rehydrate 10 minutes and then add the remaining ingredients. Thoroughly mix the flavored meat with the dried rhubarb. Put in a covered container or a self-sealing plastic bag. If marinating longer than one hour, place in the refrigerator. Because cold meat is harder to put through a jerky gun, let the mixture warm up for a few minutes before forming into strips and putting in a drying environment.

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
Finely minced fresh sage, thyme, marjoram and rosemary, or poultry seasoning to taste
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
Salt and pepper to taste
Toasted pecan bits
Combine rhubarb with sugar and bring to gentle simmer. Set aside while rhubarb is still firm.
Saute celery, onion and garlic gently and mix with rest of dressing ingredients. Place in a well-buttered casserole and pour the rhubarb mixture evenly over the dressing. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes depending on the size of the casserole.

Apple Rhubarb Chutney
Gabbi Edwards
Makes about four 8 ounce jars
4 cups diced, peeled, cored apples, treated to prevent browning and drained
4 cups granulated sugar
2 cups diced rhubarb, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup water
Grated zest and juice of one lemon
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- In a large stainless steel saucepan, combine apples, sugar, rhubarb, water and lemon zest and juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring frequently, until thick enough to mound on a spoon, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare canner, jars and lids.
- Ladle hot chutney into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if necessary, by adding hot chutney. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Screw band down until resistance is met, then increase to fingertip-tight.
- Place jars in canner, ensuring they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes. Remove canner lid. Wait 5 minutes, then remove jars, cool and store.
Tips:
- For good-textured chutney, choose from firm cooking apples that keep their shape during cooking, such as Golden Delicious or Spartan.
- When boiling sauces, chutneys and salsas that thicken as the moisture is evaporated, you may need to gradually reduce the heat to maintain a low boil and prevent scorching.

Rhubarb Scones
Rhubarb Run Volunteers
1 1/2 c pastry flour
2 c whole wheat flour
1 Tblsp baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1/3 c sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter (frozen)
3 c raw rhubarb, chopped
2 Tblsp Aronia concentrate to color rhubarb (optional)
1 tsp vinegar
3/4 c buttermilk
2 Tblsp orange zest
Freeze flour and butter. Chill rhubarb and buttermilk. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. (If chilling scones before baking, preheat oven when dough is chilling.)
Pour Aronia concentrate over rhubarb. Mix to stain evenly.
In big mixing bowl, sift together flours, salt, baking powder, soda and sugar.
In food processor, grate frozen butter. Then insert food processor blade. Add flour mixture and pulse only enough to get butter distributed into fine crumbles.
Pour flour mixture back into large bowl. Add rhubarb and toss to coat, separate rhubarb pieces and distribute.
Make well in middle of flour-rhubarb mixture.
Mix buttermilk, vinegar and zest. Add to flour-rhubarb mix. Work quickly to keep it cold, distribute moisture throughout and form a cohesive dough. Don't overwork.
Pat into rectangle on wax paper, folding over to whatever extent you can to create layers. Cover with wax paper and chill 20 minutes (this improves rise.)
Cut rectangle into 6 or 8 squares. Cut squares in diagonals to make triangles. Sprinkle with large grain sugar if desired.
Place on parchment lined, buttered baking sheet and bake 25 to 30 miniutes.
Serve with rhubarb jam. Makes 12 - 14.

Rhubarb Mango Pico de Gallo
5 cups rhubarb, finely diced
1 green bell pepper (I also use red and yellow peppers for additional flavor and color.)
Cucumber, finely diced
1/2 cup red onion
4-5 scallions
4-5 garlic cloves
1-2 jalapenos, finely diced. Seeds optional.
1/2 cup cilantro
3 cups or more of mango, diced
1/ 3 cup lime juice, more or less
Honey to sweeten
Salt and pepper to taste
Any type of hot sauce may be used as needed.
Blanch the rhubarb after dicing, for 10 to 20 seconds and refresh in ice cold water. Drain well.
Combine ingredients and refrigerate for 35-45 minutes before serving. More cilantro may be added as cilantro loses its pungency fairly fast.
Pineapple, nectarines, peaches, plums or any fruit in season can be substituted for making pico de gallo. In the fall, try using any variety of apple.
