Rhubarb Syllabub
Prep: 25 Minutes - Cook: 20 Minutes - Easy - Serves 6-8
Proudly supported by

One of my favourite spring puddings. It’s easy and quick to make, as well as being light, frothy and delicious.

Ingredients

grated zest and juice 1 orange

100g/4oz caster sugar

6 stems young pink rhubarb, about 500g/1lb 2oz

2 cardamom pods

2 star anise

FOR THE SYLLABUB

284ml carton double cream

zest and juice 1 large lemon

3-4 tbsp Grand Marnier, dry sherry or white wine

100g/4oz caster sugar

Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Warm the orange juice in a pan and dissolve the sugar in it. Cut the rhubarb into sections the length of your thumb and cook in the orange juice with the zest, cardamom and star anise for 8-10 mins. Cool the fruit.

  2. To make a syrupy juice, lift out the rhubarb pieces and boil up the juice until it thickens.

  3. To make the syllabub, put the cream, lemon zest and juice, alcohol and sugar into a bowl and beat for several mins until the mixture becomes thick and light. Remove the cardamom pods and star anise from the syrup. Put the rhubarb into individual glasses, spoon over some of the syrup, then the syllabub mixture over the top and chill for a few hrs before serving.
