I came across ‘Yorkshire Rhubarb Delight’ in a local recipe book and was attracted to the easy-going style of it.

Ingredients

• Rhubarb (“as much as you like“, says the recipe, but around a 16 oz/ 1lb in weight of trimmed rhubarb will do the job)
• Sugar to taste
• Packet of any red jelly

Method

1. Chop and simmer rhubarb with a little water until it is soft
2. Add a couple of spoons of sugar to sweeten the pulp
3. Add the jelly and stir until it is dissolved
4. Leave to set.

Easy, or what?
