Ingredients:
1 cup chopped Rhubarb (about a half pound), thawed if frozen1/4 cup plus 1 Tbl. sugar 1 cup hulled and sliced strawberries 1 Tbls. orange-flavored liqueur, if desired 2/3 cup well chilled heavy cream 3 strawberries, hulled and halved lengthwise
Directions:
In a small stainless or enameled saucepan combine the rhubarb, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and 1 Tbls. water, bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and simmer it for 10 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender. Transfer the rhubarb to a bowl and let it cool. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade or in a blender, puree the sliced strawberries with the remaining 1 Tbls. sugar and stir the puree into the rhubarb mixture with the liqueur if desired. In a chilled bowl beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks and fold it into the fruit mixture. Spoon the dessert into parfait glasses and chill it, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is set. Cut the strawberry halves almost but not completely through into 3 slices, spread them into fans, and garnish the desserts with them.Makes 2 1/3 cups, serving 6
