When someone brings you a bundle of Rhubarb what do you make? Pie, crumble, compote... ice-cream! Being an ice-cream fiend I thought this was only logical. It's fun to see how you can use these common local ingredients in a new fresh way... I may have been inspired by a certain icecream place with a couple interesting flavours.
The last couple days the weather has been raining down hard but I am still optimistic that summer is here and so with grey cloud lumming over head I made rhubarb ice-cream. If you have some stalks in your garden and an icecream maker make this and enjoy it inside as you look out on the rain or invite some friends over and have a summer picnic inside.
In a sauce pan
6 stalks cut up
1/2 cup sugar/or agave syrup
1tsp vanilla
1tsp lemon juice
1/2 water
let simmer till it gets sweet and the rhubarb gets soft and stringy
set aside and let cool this may be about 2 hrs.
Mix
the rhubarb compote
cream
(I did 1/2 light cream 1/2 skim milk)
machine
Mix it all together and then it all to the ice-cream machine for 20minutes. ENjoy!
(It would also be fun to have some almond crumble to top it with.)
