Strawberries work well.

I don't like to dilute my rhubarb with anything. A nice rhubarb crumble/crisp is great, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I liked my mom's rhubarb pie before she added the strawberries, I'm not a fan of the seeds, never liked them. Before that, I could eat half a pie as a kid. Haven't touched the stuff in decades.
 
Have not had or even seen rhubarb in 35 years.
I would pluck a piece and chew on it. Man that was some sour stuff.
Mom would make a couple pies usually with Strawberries.
 
Growing up in Ohio my granny used to can it in mason jars ? Probably added sugar I’m guessing? All I know is when she pulled one of those cold jars from the refrigerator and poured it in a soup bowl it was AMAZING. I think she boiled it in a sauce pan and then canned it so it was runny like a soup.

My granny used to do the same thing, stewed rhubarb, but she canned it.

Today, pie #1 is presently in the oven.
From the 3 1-gallon ziplock freezer bags of rhubarb that my girlfriend harvested, I used about 1/8th of it. That means about 8 more pies...

The wife just canned 6 jars of rhubarb relish (or chutney) today. It’s great on pork chops or roast. If you haven’t tried it I highly recommend it. Next she will be freezing some this week to use in crisps during the winter months.
