STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB CREAM DESSERT

I found this recipe in an old Taste of Home magazine. I don't recall who submitted the recipe, but I tried it today, and it was delicious.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm rhubarb: Look for stalks that are bright red or pink, with firm flesh and no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Prepare rhubarb properly: Wash rhubarb stalks thoroughly and trim off the leaves and ends. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces or as directed in the recipe.
  • Use a combination of sweet and tart ingredients: Rhubarb can be quite tart, so it's important to balance it out with sweet ingredients like sugar, honey, or fruit. You can also add a bit of sour cream or yogurt for a tangy flavor.
  • Cook rhubarb until it's tender: Rhubarb should be cooked until it's soft and tender, but not mushy. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
