I dug around and pulled out some more – clearing out the patch as much as I was comfortable without hopefully risking its longer-term survival – and I managed to make about 2 cups total.
Every recipe I had looked up called for at least 3 cups, so I decided I’d have to top it up with something else.
Strawberry rhubarb pie is such a delicious, classic flavour combo – it just seemed like the perfect way to go… but of course, our little (rather successful, I might add!) strawberry patch isn’t producing fruit yet, and I wasn’t going back to the store. Whatever I had in the freezer was going to have to work. Hubby wasn’t keen on the idea of trying blueberry rhubarb tarts, but when I mentioned that I had a bag of dark, sweet cherries he *jumped* on the idea!
