Dessert

Dessert was Rhubarb Fool.

We have a quite alot of rhubarb growing and it is great to use this sweet and sour plant as part of our home grown food.


Rhubarb Fool















Rhubarb is native to Northern Asia and, like many other plants, it was originally valued as a popular remedy for a wide range of ailments. Its flavor wasn't appreciated until the 19th century, after it was introduced to Europe, when it was discovered that the tartness of rhubarb was greatly improved with the addition of sugar.
