Recipe: Rhubarb Delight

Serves 4

16 Thin Stalks of Rhubarb
200g Caster Sugar
2 Tbsp Water
200g Mascarpone
180ml Double Cream
2 Tsp Finely Grated Orange Rind
2 Tsp Gelatine
60ml Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
2 Blood Oranges (optional)

First wash the rhubarb, scrubbing away any dirt. Cut away the leaves and white part of the stalk, then slice into 3cm pieces.

Heat a medium pan and add the rhubarb with 100g of the caster sugar and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then bring to the boil, simmer and cover for 10 minutes until thickened. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool, then refrigerate.

Now in a small heatproof jug, add 1 tablespoon of water and sprinkle gelatine over the top. Stand the jug in a pan of simmering water, stirring the liquid until the gelatine is dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the orange juice.

Beat the mascarpone with 100g caster sugar until smooth. Add the cream and orange rind and beat until. Then beat the warm gelatine mixture into the mixture until combined.

Now the rhubarb is cooled, dived the mixture into eight serving glasses. Divide the creamy mixture evenly over the rhubarb and refrigerate for 3 hours or until set.

Serve decorated with fresh orange segments.
