Rhubarb and orange are a marriage made in heaven. Either some grated orange peel or, in a sauce, several orange slices take your rhubarb to a whole different level. And I would never drain the rhubarb for a pie. The marvelous juice is part of the experience. Also, we had a house in Minnesota 30 miles from Canada and had rhubarb that was found in the city compost pile accidentally transplanted to and flourishing in our front yard. It was red. Also had garden rhubarb in Kentucky.
