Lynn,
I guess it's too late now but here's my experience
using frozen rhubarb. It seems that if you use it frozen
the rhubarb doesn't sink to the bottom like it's supposed
to. The next time I make it with frozen I'm going to at
least partially thaw the rhubarb. I've done it with totally
thawed 'barb but there's too much "water" when you do that.
That's why I've been doing it with completely frozen 'barb.
The first time it didn't "sink" I thought it was just a fluke
but it's happened several times since so I'm going to go with
partial from now on. Still tastes good though. I think it's
the cold from the frozen 'barb that has to do with it not
sinking.
