Explaining to your fellow reenactors why you're ditching the historically accurate heat exhaustion on weekends - think canvas tent in blistering heat, corset, five layers, and open-flame cooking - after spending your weekdays interpreting in a comfy, climate-controlled house museum.

History Bites!

Rhubarb became quite popular in 19th-century cooking, both for its medicinal uses and as a tart fruit substitute in desserts. Recipes using rhubarb often balanced its natural sourness with whatever sweeteners were available. We think the following recipe is a keeper, especially if you love rhubarb as much as we do.

Rhubarb Tart (Modern adaptation)

Ingredients:

~Rhubarb (1 lb, chopped)

~Sugar (½ lb or more to taste)

~Shortcrust pastry

~Optional: pinch of ground ginger or lemon zest

Instructions:

Put uncooked rhubarb and sugar in a sauce pan with a small amount of water. Simmer for about an hour or until rhubarb is soft. Let cool.

Add a pinch of ground ginger (common in period recipes). Stir.

Roll out pastry and line a tart tin.

Fill with rhubarb mixture and sprinkle sugar over.

Optional: Cover with a pastry lid or make a lattice top.

Bake in a moderate oven (about 350°F / 175°C) until pastry is golden and rhubarb is bubbling.

"A new system of domestic cookery : formed upon principles of economy, and adapted to the use of private families", 1807, Maria Eliza Ketelby Rundell, This book included many fruit pies and tarts, often adapting the filling based on availability. Rhubarb, gaining popularity after being cultivated more widely in England around 1800, began appearing in printed tart recipes by the 1820s–1830s.
