It uses some of their ingredients and is non-alcoholic, but I guess you could add Bourbon to suit your taste! 1-10 oz (1/2 pint) jar Rhubarb Jam 3 oz Ginger Peach Jam 4 fresh mint leaves 24 oz sprite Crushed ice Combine jams and mint leaves in a food processor, gradually add sprite. Pour over crushed ice and garnish with mint leaves. Enjoy on a warm day! Here’s the recipe for the Rhubarb Ginger Peach Julep from the Kitchen Kettle Village website (kitchenkettle.com).

I don't see too much of it out here in Arizona. I used to have a piece of rhubarb pie now and then at Marie Calendar's but every time I had it, it tasted more chemical than real and so sweet that my mouth vibrated. There's a place called Gus Balon's which is locally owned and they are famous for their pies. I will have to inquire if they have rhubarb and then maybe if I feel like splurging... I hope the event is a success. Do you want to share the recipe for rhubarb juleps? Fran,

The village grew up around a jam and relish kitchen, and has been around since the 1950's. Taste the tastiest–“Best Rhubarb Dessert in Lancaster County” Baking Contest (on Friday), not to mention rhubarb salsa, rhubarb dipping mustard, rhubarb jams, rhubarb pies and sip on rhubarb juleps. They also have a Berry Festival on June 20-21. Well worth a visit.
