Rhubarb Sorbet With Vanilla Rhubarb Compote Food

RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Place rhubarb pieces into a medium pot and sprinkle with sugar. Stir well to make sure rhubarb is completely covered with sugar. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes, stirring once, so natural juices will be released.
• Bring rhubarb mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Turn down heat and simmer until soft, about 10 minutes. Serve compote warm.

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, sugar and cinnamon in a medium saucepan.
• Bring to a simmer over medium high heat then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook until the rhubarb begins to soften.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
• Serve warm or cold.

RHUBARB SORBET WITH VANILLA RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Make sorbet:
• Toss together rhubarb, sugar, and corn syrup in a 3 1/2- to 4-quart heavy saucepan and let stand, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes (to macerate).
• Cook mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until rhubarb has released about 2 cups liquid, 10 to 15 minutes. Increase heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until rhubarb is very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. 3Purée mixture in 2 batches in a blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Transfer purée to a bowl, then set bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stir occasionally until cold, 10 to 15 minutes. Freeze purée in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 1 hour.
• Make compote while purée is chilling:
• Simmer sugar and 1 1/2 cups water in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Add rhubarb slices and return just to a simmer, then remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla gently (to avoid breaking up rhubarb). Cool mixture to room temperature, gently stirring once or twice, about 30 minutes. Chill, covered, until ready to use.
• Let sorbet soften at room temperature 5 minutes, then serve with compote.

• Pour mixture into the blender and blend until color is consistent throughout, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Chop rhubarb and strawberries and combine them into a large pot with spices, orange juice and honey over medium heat.
• Bring mixture to a boil and allow to boil for a few minutes until reducing the heat to low-medium.
• Allow mix to simmer until all the rhubarb has broken down and enough of the liquid has evaporated that the mix resembles a jam like consistency.
• If you find your mixture is fairly runny with a lot of extra juice allow it to.
• simmer on low until the juices evaporate a bit more. Chill compote completely before serving.
• To make the cream topping, open two cans of chilled (24hrs) coconut milk.
• Carefully scoop out the solid portion into a mixing bowl, trying your best to leave the liquid portion behind.
• Slice open your vanilla bean pods and using a flat edged knife, remove seeds and add them to your coconut cream.
• Begin whipping cream and vanilla bean on medium-high setting. After about a minute slowly drizzle in your honey until your mix is aerated enough to hold peaks. (You can stick this in fridge until ready to serve).
• Garnish with fresh mint or chopped nuts and serve!
• Enjoy!
