Oh Yum!! Just when I was wondering what to do with the remaining rhubarb! This is so good! I just went to a 600 watt microwave and I had to cook them a little longer. But the results were great! This is a winner! Thanks!!

I'm giving this 5 stars even though I hardly followed the recipe at all. I used white sugar, no cinnamon, added some strawberries, and cooked it in my Le Creuset cast iron on the stove just like I cook dumpling in soup. But this was a great IDEA and a great starting place for some creativity. I needed a new way to use rhubarb and this was super. Thank you so much.

These are great! Normally, I wouldn't review something if I didn't follow the recipe exactly (I estimated the time and cooked the dumplings on the stovetop) but these are just too good not to review. Who doesn't love rhubarb? Living in ND, it's one of the few "fruits" we can actually grow, so I like to take advantage and freeze as much as possible. The dumplings were super tender. I'll make these often.
