Buttery Rhubarb Baklava image

I like to take treats to my co-workers at the nursery/gift shop where I work. When rhubarb season arrives, I make this rich, sweet baklava so I can share the fruits of my garden. -Sue Bolsinger, Anchorage, Alaska

I'm not a huge fan of rhubarb, but I thought I would give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The rhubarb added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the baklava. I will definitely be making this again.

This baklava was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, it was a delicious and well-made dessert. I would definitely recommend it to others.

This was my first time making baklava and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the baklava was delicious. I used a combination of chopped walnuts and pistachios and I think the pistachios added a nice extra layer of flavor.

This recipe was easy to follow and the baklava turned out beautifully. The only change I made was to use a mixture of chopped walnuts and pistachios instead of just walnuts. I think the pistachios added a nice extra layer of flavor.

I was skeptical about using rhubarb in baklava, but I'm so glad I tried it! The rhubarb adds a lovely tartness that balances out the sweetness of the nuts and honey. This is a unique and delicious dessert that I highly recommend.
