Rhubarb Slush from the Farmhouse image

Keep this on hand for summer guests or--if you're like me--you need a way to preserve all that luscious rhubarb, this recipe is a sure-fire way to use some up! OR if you've already frozen all your 'barb, then measure out what's need--let it thaw completely, then drain--but do NOT press liquid out! Taste Of Home, Summer '09 NOTE: cooking time noted is that needed for FREEZING!!!
