Rhubarb and apple crumble is a favourite.
Stewed rhubarb and custard as a dessert.
Rhubarb pie, add it muffins or cakes. You can make jam but I never have.

What do you make with rhubarb?

I have serval recipes from a nurses aide I worked with in Minot, ND. She was ready to retire so had some older recipes. She always brought in rhubarb desserts in the spring.

I have a really old plant that belonged to my grandfather. It is just about at the end of its usefulness. I am hoping that the new plants gives us many years of produce.
