Rhubarb—to take Acid from.
(Mrs. Davidson, Logie Coldstone Manse. May 20, 1896.)
Cut up the rhubarb as for tart or pudding and put it in a
stewpan—cover it with cold water, put it on the fire and let it
come to the boil. Then at once pour water off and let the
rhubarb get cold. Cook afterwards as usual.
