Buttery Rhubarb Baklava image

I like to take treats to my co-workers at the nursery/gift shop where I work. When rhubarb season arrives, I make this rich, sweet baklava so I can share the fruits of my garden. -Sue Bolsinger, Anchorage, Alaska

This baklava is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it a day ahead of time and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a big fan of rhubarb, but I really enjoyed this baklava. The rhubarb flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

The baklava was delicious, but it was a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I would make it again.

The baklava was a bit dry. I think I may have overbaked it.

I had some trouble getting the phyllo dough to stick together. I think I may have used too much butter.

The baklava was good, but I found the rhubarb to be a bit too tart. I think I would use less rhubarb next time.

This baklava was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less honey next time.

I'm not usually a fan of rhubarb, but this baklava changed my mind. The rhubarb added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the honey and nuts.
