This year at Backyard Gardening Australia we have set ourselves a goal which is to find different ways we can use the produce we have in our garden. Rhubarb is one of the plants that seem grow back quicker than we can eat it. We came across the idea of a persian lamb and rhubarb stew and have fallen in love with it

For a while we have wanted to find a good rhubarb jam slice.

It can easily be made gluten free by using gluten free plain flour. We promise it’s just as tasty!
