- To cook rhubarb: Use a proportion of 4 c. sliced rhubarb cut in 1/2-inch pcs to 1 c. sugar. Toss the rhubarb and sugar together and let steep overnight (you will be amazed at how much juice the rhubarb gives off). Pour off 3/4 c. of the liquid and use for a drink. Cook the rhubarb slices in the remaining till just tender but still holding their shape, less than 5 min. The rhubarb is ready to eat as is, to use in other recipes, or possibly to freeze in containers.
- Cream the butter and sugar together. Add in the egg and beat till light, then stir in the rhubarb. Stir the flour, salt, baking soda, and spices together and toss till thoroughly mixed. Stir the dry ingredients into the rhubarb mix till the two are blended, then mix in the optional ginger, the walnuts, and the raisins. Drop the batter by the tablespoonful onto greased baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart, and bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 12 min, till lightly browned at the edges.
