Ingredients
- 500 g frozen rhubarb
- 4 dl water
- 1 dl white granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp potato starch
- to taste milk
Steps
- Rinse the rhubarb and cut it into smaller pieces, about 1–3 cm in length.
- If the rhubarb is coarse or of low quality, it may be necessary to peel it first.
- Bring the water and sugar to a boil.
- Add the rhubarb and boil until soft, about 3–5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the starch with a bit of water until it dissolves.
- When the rhubarb is soft, whisk or stir vigorously to make sure all the rhubarb pieces break up into strings.
- There should be no whole pieces left—if necessary boil some more.
- Remove the rhubarb from the heat.
- Add the dissolved starch to the rhubarb while stirring.
- Keep stirring and bring the rhubarb to a boil once again.
- Pour the rhubarb fool into serving bowls and sprinkle some sugar on top to prevent a skin from forming.
- Leave to cool off.
- Then refrigerate.
- Serve at room temperature or chilled, with milk.
