Hi! Do you cook the rhubarb before adding it?

Hi! Do you cook the rhubarb before adding it?

That's a good question. It sounds interesting though. I may have to try it once I get more rhubarb.

I think Michael probably snagged this recipe from another site, rather than it being one that he's used himself, but I'm not sure.

I'd think that you could just toss the rhubarb in, uncooked. I make cake with apples and peaches for instance, where the fruit is just mixed in.

But doesn't rhubarb have more of a celery-like crunch? Not a peach or apple texture?

when its cooked, rhubarb is like delicious slightly stringy mush. its going in the oven for a decent amount of time, so i reckon it'd be cooked by the time its done- it'll cook in a saucepan as quick as apple does. the version of this recipe i found on VR via google uses uncooked rhubarb, if thats any help.
