This tangy spread is easy to make and tastes especially good on hot, buttered cinnamon toast. The recipe makes enough to have on hand well beyond the growing season. —Betty Nyenhuis, Oostburg, Wisconsin

I, too made the recipe with Splenda. The spread is not thick like jam, but more of a thick sauce. A nice spread for toast, but better on vanilla ice cream.

Always looking for something different with rhubarb. Good taste, made mine with splenda, set up really nice. Didn't turn out as orange in color as the picture, mine was more green that orange.
