You could try rhubarbeade.
4orfive largish sticks rhubarb--2 lemons--small ammount grated ginger,if liked--1lb(or modern alternative!)sugar--1gallon(ditto!)boiling water.
Chop rhubarb,slice lemons,unpeeled,and place in large bowl/clean food quality bucket,pour boiling water over and slowly stir in sugar until dissolved.Leave overnight(oh! put ginger,if using,in with rhubarb and sugar)Cover and leave overnight,strain.Children usually love this and it much better for them than chemical squash.but for adults a nice big slug of vodka with it is VERY good for you!! Also rhubarb sauce is very nice with mackerel or herring.
