Hurry, bake this while you can still find some rhubarb....

I want to blog more regularly and instead I seem to blog more irregularly or let's face it, never. Sigh. I have taken several photos of recent and even not so recent things I have made; they just never seem to make it to the blog. Here's to trying to remedy that somewhat. First up:

Rhubarb Bread...

This is a recipe that my mom always made for us when we were kids. A yummy treat to make when rhubarb pies and rhubarb crisps have been over done. :) Which is really never but this bread is really good so find a little rhubarb before it's too late to come by and try this recipe.

The recipe:

1 1/2 c. brown sugar
2/3 c. oil
1 egg
1 c. sour milk or buttermilk
1 t. soda
1 t. salt
1 t. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. raw, diced rhubarb
1/2 c. nuts (if you like them - I skipped them, I think my mom always used walnuts)

Mix together and pour into two greased bread pans. This time I baked mine in one 7 x 10 inch glass pan, like a cake. It worked out great. For all the baking I do, I really don't have any good bread pans. But I liked baking this in a cake form. And it baked at the same temp for basically the same amount of time. Just slightly less.

Top with 1/2 c. sugar and 1 T butter pinched together. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 to 60 minutes; or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

This is a slightly sour bread but it mixes with that sweet topping and it's so good topped with a little bit of butter! And as it sits the sweetness increases because that sweetness on top melts into the bread. Enjoy!!!!
