I have some rhubarb growing in my yard.

How will I know when it's ripe? Maybe I can talk Mrs Tacklejunkie into baking that

When the stalk turns red and..... sweeter.....you have to use your imagination a little for that one though, hence the butload of sugar. Regardless, prepared as above it is certainly tasty!!!

I bought the rhubarb I used for this but I also have a rhubarb plant that I should get some from in a couple weeks or so. I usually pick it when it turns red and the stalks will be about 1/2 inch wide or so. I also just bought another plant to put in the ground as this is one of my favorite pies.
