This is quite a good bread - our family really enjoys it! It's also very quick and easy to prepare, once you have the rhubarb diced.

I followed instructions but used margarine instead of oil. I let it rest for the 10 mins. after baking and it came out of the pan okay, but less the bottom 1/4". Quite a sorry looking sight!!!

My husband and friends and I just loved this! It is so moist and the sweet-tart flavor is a real treat!

love this just the way it is!! I personally dont care for strawberries and rhubarb mixed...they are both so good on their own!!!

Oh, and for the flour I used 1/2 cup wheat flour and 2 cups regular flour. Wheat flour is great for fiber! And the bread turned out great!

love this recipe!!! When I have a recipe, I tend to alter a few ingredients, and what I did with this recipe is

-for the oil, I used 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup applesauce. Applesauce can be used in some batters instead of oil to reduce oil calories. Be careful, though, as applesauce makes things more moist, so I only substituted half the oil with applesauce.

-to substitute buttermilk (if you don't have any), just take a measuring cup and put in 1 TB of vinegar and the remainder of the cup with milk. Let stand for 5 minutes.

-I used about (I wasn't exact) 1 1/4 cup rhubarb and 1/2 cup cut strawberries. Strawberries and rhubarb go great together.

The combination of these alterations worked really well for me.
