BONITA’S TIPS: Fresh or frozen rhubarb can be used for this recipe, if fresh peel or leave peel on and chop finely. Toss fresh or frozen rhubarb in some flour before folding into batter. This helps from sinking to the bottom of your bread. Nuts can be used or left out depending on food alleges, low sugar can be used follow food guide on google.
