The very best rhubarb fool recipe that isn't too sour or too sweet, by my Aunt Rosa from England.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rhubarb chopped into pieces
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk or more, as desired
  • 1 Tbsp heavy whipping cream to serve

Instructions

  • In a heavy bottomed frying pan, place the chopped rhubarb and lemon juice.
  • Add the sugar and simmer gently over low heat until the rhubarb is completely soft, the sugar has melted, and the juices start to evaporate.
  • Remove from the burner and place into a container to blend with an immersion blender, (or into a food processor), along with the sweetened condensed milk. Next, process until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids).
  • Taste, and add more condensed milk if you prefer it sweeter.
  • Finally, pour into bowls or serving glasses (it can be refrigerated if you like it cold) and serve with fresh cream.

Notes

  • You can use other fruit, but adjust the sugar and condensed milk accordingly. For example, strawberries are much sweeter than rhubarb and will require less sugar and/or condensed milk.
