It’s that time of year again, and in Wakefield that means celebrating the area’s most distinctive tradition: the forced rhubarb grown in the historic Rhubarb Triangle. Harvested by candlelight in darkened sheds, this delicate pink crop was so prized that special night trains ran from Christmas

This image shows the inside of a traditional rhubarb forcing shed, a practice primarily found in the "Rhubarb Triangle" of West Yorkshire, England. Rhubarb plants are moved into dark, warm sheds after a couple of years in the field to encourage rapid growth. The absence of light results in tender, sweeter, pink stems and yellow leaves. Candles are traditionally used for harvesting as the low light prevents photosynthesis. The process is so fast that some say you can hear the rhubarb "sing" or "pop" as it grows. "Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb" has Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status.

I love curd tarts. Down here in Leicestershire I only found them for a brief few weeks when Morrisons took over Safeway! I was probably the only one to buy 😆 In the end I made my own curds, much easier than I thought and rather successful 😋 I think this was first try, pastry a bit thick but grand ☺️
