Strawberry Rhubarb Bostock Recipes

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, strawberries, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix well so that the sugar evenly coats the fruit. Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Add fruit and sugar mixture to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Spoon small portions of the stewed fruit into bowls. Drizzle each serving with a few tablespoons of half-and-half.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, stir together almond flour, all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, egg yolk, and vanilla until combined. (almond mixture can be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated up to 3 days.)
• Place brioche on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Divide strawberry preserves over slices followed by almond mixture; spread to cover completely.
• Cut rhubarb stalk into thirds crosswise, then quarter each piece to create 12 pieces; toss with remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Arrange over brioche and bake until golden, puffed, and just set, about 15 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and sprinkle with almonds; serve warm.

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat to 325 F degrees.
• For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the pretzels and sugar and process into fine crumbs. Drizzle the melted butter over top and pulse to combine. Press the mixture into a clear glass 8-by-8-inch baking dish. (Use the bottom of a dry measuring cup to pack the crumbs tightly.) Bake the crust until crisp and pulls away slightly from the sides of the pan, about 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the cream cheese layer: In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until creamy. Drizzle in the cream and vanilla and continue to beat on a medium speed until light, fluffy and medium-stiff peaks form. Spread over the cooled crust and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the gelatin layer. Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/2 cup cool water in a medium bowl and let bloom, about 5 minutes. Combine the rhubarb, sugar and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until the rhubarb is just tender, but still completely holds its shape, 1 to 2 minutes (add a minute or so more if cooking from frozen). Remove from the heat. Add the jam and rosewater. Stir to combine and thin the jam. Stir in the food coloring, if using. Pour the mixture over the bloomed gelatin and stir to completely dissolve the gelatin. Refrigerate until soft set, about 2 hours (it should look thick and syrupy).
• Once the cream cheese layer is set and the gelatin is soft set, stir the strawberries into the gelatin and spoon the gelatin mixture over the cream cheese layer and smooth the top. Refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• To serve, grab a big spoon and dig in.
