Rhubarb Dessert

We went to the farmers market on Thursday with the purpose of buying some rhubarb. I have been thinking for awhile that it would be great to have some planted in our yard, but I have yet to do this. I did learn quite a bit about rhubarb though on our little trek. We actually went all the way through the market and found no rhubarb until the very last booth. I asked the lady if rhubarb was out of season, and she informed me that in Iowa no one picks it past the 4th of July. Interesting. I just barely made it. And the best time to plant it is in the early spring. So next year I guess, maybe I can find someone who will share part of their plant. This is one of Andy's favorite desserts I am whipping up for our 4 of July celebration.

Here it is:

Rhubarb Dessert

3oz strawberry jello

1 c sugar

1 white cake mix (dry)

1 c water

1 stick of butter (melted)

Put 4 c. rhubarb in 9x13 pan. Mix sugar and jello and sprinkle over rhubarb.
Sprinkle dry cake mix over top.

Drizzle melted butter over cake mix and pour 1 cup water over all.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Tastes great with ice cream!!
