  10. For the sauce, combine the cornstarch, sugar, ginger, and orange rind in a sauce pan.
  11. Add rhubarb and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  12. Cook until slightly thick and the rhubarb is tender.

What a nice way to make crepes! I am a fan!


This will be one I'll try next summer when I have fresh rhubarb. There are 3 things that are in every Minnesota garden. Rhubarb , chives and lilac bushes. I have all three.
