Ingredients.

1 ½ cups brown sugar
2/3 cups liquid shortening (yeah, that’s no good for you, but I don’t really have a successful alternative.)
1 cup sour milk (you can sour your own milk by adding 1 tsp. Vinegar in 1 cup milk)
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking soda
1 tsp. Vanilla (real is best, but imitation is still okay)
2 ½ cups flour
1 ½ cup finely diced rhubarb (may be frozen or fresh)
½ cup nuts (hickory nuts are my favorite)

Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
½ tsp. Cinnamon
1 Tbsp. Melted butter (can be margarine)

Combine brown sugar and shortening.  Stir in egg and sour milk with vanilla.  Add sifted dry ingredients.  Stir in rhubarb and nuts.  Pour into 2 well-greased loaf pans.  Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle on top.  Bake at 325 degrees F. About 40 minutes.  Do not over bake.  Remove from pans after 2 or 3 min. and cool on rack.

This is also great with ice-cream!  Have a happy home-made summer.
