Rhubarb fool
Why is Rhubarb fool called a fool? Is it foolish? Some say it comes from the French ‘fouler’ to crush. I think it is just tat you’d be a fool not to love it.
Ingredients
450 g rhubarb
150 g soft brown sugar
50 ml orange juice
50 ml water
400 ml double cream
400 g full fat Greek style yoghurt
1/2 to 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cut the rhubarb into 2 cm chunks
Place in a pan with 100 g of the sugar, orange juice and water
Bring to the boil, stirring all the time and them simmer for 4 - 5 minutes until the rhubarb falls
Strain the juice from the rhubarb - keeping the juice and all the rhubarb to cool
Put the syrup back into the pan with the rest of the sugar and simmer for 10 minutes until it thickens and reduces
Whip the double cream to the soft peak stage and then fold in the yoghurt and vanilla
Fold in the rhubarb, and spoon into 6 serving dishes / glasses
Chill for 3 - 4 hours and serve with some of the cooled syrup on the top |
