Rhubarb and ice cream.... Lovely.

I think that nothing beats rhubarb and cream. I'm salivating at the
thought!

For me it's rhubarb and custard - especially when made into rhubarb
fool.

I make fool with yogurt - the next best thing to cream :-)

Too idle to make custard ... but custard is best with rhubarb pie.

How do you make fool then ?

I know not how others make it but I cut rhubarb into 1" pieces and put them
into a pan with some honey (no water). Cooking over a low heat until the
rhubarb is soft takes but a few minutes. Then I stir it into cream - or
yogurt.

Bliss.

I make a superb rhubarb crumble (no credit, recipe from one of my fav
cookery books) with orange juice and zest, filling 1/3 cooking apple,
2/3 rhubarb, demerara sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
It is heaven on a plate, served with some mascarpone cheese - i'd say
it would be gorgeous with clotted cream too, but that's hard to find
here.
