Kitchen Notes
Fresh rhubarb can usually be found year-round in most grocery stores. If you don’t see it, just ask your local produce manager.

This recipe sounds yummy. I can’t wait until my rhubarb is ready this Spring to try it.
This did not turn out super well for me. Even though I baked it for 10-15 minutes longer, it was still soggy inside wherever the rhubarb was. Don’t know if I used too much rhubarb (1 1/2 cups) or if it had to do with using mostly applesauce instead of oil… but I wouldn’t make this again.
Sorry that you didn’t have a good experience with this recipe, Lisa. The applesauce could have been part of your problem as that does make the bread more moist. I would suggest tossing your rhubarb in flour to help cut down on the extra moisture as well.
