Rhubarb Curd


I have bags of frozen rhubarb in my freezer, harvested from my garden.  I have made pies and crisps with the rhubarb but wanted to think of something else.

I adore lemon curd and it occurred to me that I could use rhubarb instead of lemons.  Rhubarb is quite acidic and gives way to a tangy curd.  Use it in tarts, cakes or even use as a jam in sandwiches or toast.

Chocolate Panna Cotta


We don't usually make a big deal of Valentines's day but we do acknowledge it in small ways. A gift of something sweet and/or a nice dinner at home.  I love chocolate everything so I decided on chocolate panna cotta since we had cream waiting in the refrigerator waiting to be used.  Remember that good quality baking chocolate will make it all the better.  I prefer dark to milk chocolate but it's your choice.

Hope you enjoyed your Valentine's Day!
