A fool is a British dessert that's usually made with custard. This is a modified, quicker version I created. My kids love it because it doesn't taste like rhubarb—so I guess it's well named! I'm a secretary in the Agronomy Department of our local university...although I've been known to help with corn harvest as part of my duties! My husband and I have four sons, 13 to 8. Ingredients:
3 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb (1-inch pieces) |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup orange juice |
dash salt |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
2 cups fresh strawberries, halved |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, orange juice and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 6-8 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Cool slightly.
2. Process rhubarb mixture in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate, covered, until cold.
3. Just before serving, in a small bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold into pureed rhubarb. Alternately layer cream mixture and strawberries into six parfait glasses. Yield: 6 servings.
