**Rhubarb Pudding: A Classic Dessert with a Tart Twist**

Rhubarb pudding is a classic British dessert that combines the unique tartness of rhubarb with the comforting sweetness of a traditional pudding. This dish is a staple of springtime, when rhubarb is at its peak season. The vibrant red stalks of rhubarb are cooked with sugar and spices to create a tangy filling, which is then encased in a tender and fluffy batter. The result is a delightful combination of flavors and textures that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. In this article, we present two variations of rhubarb pudding: a traditional steamed pudding and a modern baked pudding. Both recipes offer unique takes on this classic dessert, ensuring that there's something for everyone to enjoy.

OUTSTANDING RHUBARB BREAD PUDDING



Outstanding Rhubarb Bread Pudding image

I don't like rhubarb. But oh, how I have tried to like it. I have a patch of it growing in my yard and I wanted to find a way to use it. I've tried it in cakes, pies, cobblers, crisps, etc. This recipe was rhubarb's last stand. If I didn't like this I was giving up on rhubarb for good. And oh, boy! It is amazing. I can't wait for my rhubarb patch to ripen up this spring so I can make it again.
