Some readers may remember that a couple years ago, I featured a muffin recipe every month with the idea of freezing some to use as kitchen gifts at Christmas time. Recently, I came upon this recipe from one of my favorite sites, The View from Great Island. I was looking for rhubarb recipes, not necessarily for muffins but more for dessert. Sue Moran's recipes are always outstanding. She has never steered me wrong.
This recipe for Perfect Rhubarb Muffins jumped out at me as a potential kitchen gift to post about here.

I really don't know how well rhubarb muffins will freeze. They may be fine. One reviewer said she had frozen them and they tasted fresh when reheated. As far as making them in rhubarb season though, and trying to freeze until December, that would probably be a little long to keep them frozen.
So, since rhubarb season is in full swing, I'll probably bake these muffins and we'll eat them fresh. I'll justify their inclusion on my Christmas blog by the fact that rhubarb is red and green.
