Strawberry And Rhubarb Parfaits Recipes

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, cook rhubarb, granulated sugar and drink over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is tender and mixture is syrupy.
• Add 1 cup of the strawberries; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes, mashing slightly. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining strawberries. Cool slightly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour until chilled.
• Just before serving, in medium bowl, beat whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. In each of 8 parfait glasses, layer sauce, cake cubes and whipped cream; repeat layers. Serve immediately. If desired, garnish each serving with fresh strawberry slice.

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, 1/2 cup water and sugar in heavy large saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Cook over medium heat until rhubarb is almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Add strawberries and cook 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours.
• Mix yogurt and vanilla extract in medium bowl. (Strawberry-rhubarb mixture and vanilla yogurt can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
• In each of 8 wineglasses or goblets, layer scant 1/4 cup yogurt mixture, 1/2 teaspoon golden brown sugar and 1/4 cup strawberry-rhubarb mixture. Repeat layering. (Parfaits can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Steps:

• Heat rhubarb and water to boiling in 2-quart saucepan. Boil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Stir in gelatin until dissolved. Boil 5 minutes longer, stirring constantly; remove from heat.
• Stir in strawberries. Serve sauce warm or cold, layering frozen yogurt and sauce in parfait glasses.

Steps:

• Strawberry Rhubarb Compote: In a medium saucepan over medium low heat add rhubarb, strawberries, cinnamon stick, sugar, cornstarch and lemon zest; stir the mixture occasionally so not to burn.
• Cook until rhubarb is soft and mixture thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes; cool completely& remove cinnamon stick.
• Cream Layer: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or alternatively with an electric hand mixer), whip cream until soft peaks start to form.
• Add icing sugar and increase speed to high; continue to whip cream into firm peaks.
• Fold crème fraiche and Grand Marnier into whipped cream.
• Assembly: Divide 1/3 of the cream layer equally into 6 parfait glasses; divide half the strawberry rhubarb compote equally on top of the layers of the cream layer.
• Divide another 1/3 of the cream on top of the layers of the strawberry rhubarb compote; divide remaining half of strawberry rhubarb compote equally on top of the layers of cream.
• Divide the remaining 1/3 the cream equally on top of the strawberry compote mixture.
• Garnish each parfait with a whole strawberry, sprig of lemon balm and cookie (optional).
